Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
lois-lane33 I think whoever produced this film had an agenda-to make one of the worst possible movies without appearing to be doing it overtly. The movie is clichéd and steals from Quentin Tarantino but has none of the flare of a Quentin film-as in no real action sequences unless you count people getting shot as "action." The film has an awkward cast-Bruce Willis playing alongside actresses that seem like they belong in a Lindsay Lohan film and then Forest Whitaker thrown in for 'colour'-I mean the dudes black-how ridiculous can you get? It's coy of the filmmaker to do that plus Forest's accent goes from Spanglish to mid American and then back to Spanglish rendering the believability of his character just about nil. It's a dull movie basically-one that i think seeks to offend audiences more by its banal depiction of North American life like some nightmare version of an episode of the now defunct True Blood-set in a brutal post something world where the rules no longer apply in any recognizable form. Nothing too clear but its definitely there. The person I saw this with liked it but I found myself hating it halfway through. Bruce Willis gives the most lame performance of his career in this one that feature him for probably a total of eight minutes in all. Sheer crap-to put it bluntly.
jurneyman2000 I'm reminded of that scene in As Good as it Gets where Helen Hunt is telling Nicholson how charming and handsome she thought he was and then saying "and then, of course, you spoke." This flick had a good 'feel' to it with an engaging soundtrack and a talented cast. The plot-line, though formulaic to the point of cliché, showed basic promise, but past that, well, the resulting gross tells you what it was worth. Then, you look at the estimated cost and think, 'that's gotta sting' and hope for the writer/directer that the studio isn't owned by organized crime. Otherwise, it would be a sure bet he's already ended up like most the characters in his project. He obviously has an obsession with Tarantino's work, but like a trick horseback rider, you have to know how to do it right before you can put a spin on it to make it look professionally amateurish. As it is, the film only seems to serve as a stretching exercise for the talent while they wait for something else actually worth doing. This film went all wrong with the screen writing, i.e., wrong plot development, wrong dialogue, wrong character assignments; in a word, just plain wrong. I would have bounced out of this within the first 15 minutes, but kept wondering where Willis was and then if he could save it. He couldn't. In the end, even my curiosity about the music and who the girl in the Jag was met, like the movie as a whole, with a disappointing void.
Jim Thriller with Pulp Fiction type of flashbacks.Three hot chicks are sent on a heist. Lot's of violence. Turns out tragically as several innocent people are killed. There is a tense three-way standoff that explodes.In the end, there is only one survivor who drives away in a daze. Replaying in her mind the events leading up to the bloodbath.Bruce Willis is the evil gang boss. As usual, Whittaker does too much talking. Very watchable Malin Akerman, Nikki Reed and Deborah Ann Woll.To be honest, the three lovely ladies are the main reason to watch this movie.
Zero Dark ...create this account. Imagine my disappointment when finding that there was no "0" grade. Ah. well. I suppose a "1" will have to do.I don't blame the actors, I blame the writers, director, the DP, the editor, basically anyone who had something to do with the awful script and crappy visuals. To call this a Tarantino ripoff would be an insult to Tarantino ripoffs.I need seven more lines, but I can't think of anything else to say.This movie doesn't deserve ten lines of text.I hope all of the actors involved fired their agents.Seriously, a Bruce Willis song?"Hey, lets make a movie like Tarantino would, if he had no talent." - the people who made this piece of crap.My favorite part of this movie was right before I pushed "play", before any hope of seeing a good film was dashed in the first five minutes of watching.How did they get some of the actors to agree to be in this? I can only imagine blackmail or the kidnapping of loved ones was involved.
