Reviews
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
info-98297 This movie is lost time and overrated. I saw the first half hour and I am particularly annoyed that you have to accept everything for true. The structure of the story is miserable. The main character played by Nicolas Cage sells weapons but it is not clear where they come from. He has customers all over the world from shadowy areas to which he can deliver weapons. Never is clear how he get this customers. He has an unstable brother with whom he cooperates and who can not bear the wealth when they have succes. He goes to the coke and then goes downhill with him. He tries to help him with a lot of tearjerking brotherlove. An other thing, he gets a handsome woman who does not find his work completely pure and suffers from remorse. This problem also must be resolved. In short, this movie has a machine gun fire of clichés whereby the critical film viewer has dropped out before the end
gogoschka-1 Apart from the very serious topic, this is just an incredibly well made film. There are many scenes in this movie which stay with you long after the credits have rolled, the darkly funny ones as well as the truly horrific ones, and to me this is something only the best movies ever achieve. Intelligent and stylish: this is one of very few so called "films with a message" that I can watch again and again, because it's so cleverly constructed and so beautifully shot and acted. A personal favorite, 10 stars out of 10.Favorite films: IMDb.com/list/mkjOKvqlSBs/Lesser-Known Masterpieces: imdb.com/list/ls070242495/
JoshuaMelletteDiaz With Nic Cage taking jobs to pay off property tax we unfortunately had a casualty of the greatest living American actor alive today. This movie's only flaw is its near flawlessness. It was Nic Cage's last great movie. I keep hoping we will see the Nic Cage we all love shine through once more in a great piece of work.....
daddysarm From the opening sequence showing a bullet approach the head of an "innocent"* African child to the entire slap-dash, never mind the details, narrative given by Nick Cage, there is roughly zero honesty here. It is typical Hackneyedwood "narrative".*How an "innocent" "child" comes to be the only person standing in the middle of a gun battle is best left to low-IQ imaginations of people who believe in films like this.ps: said "innocent" "child" was shown from the neck up. Panning back would have shown the rocket launcher he was holding. DUH!!!
