Can't find a thread on this movie. I thought it was pretty good. Dialogue was pretty cheesy at times and some of the actors weren't great, but overall it was a pretty intense movie, and the angry **** scene was hot. There are a few scenes that will make you want to lose your lunch.

The angry **** scene was completely unexpected.

Actually the whole movie ks kind of unexpected.

I liked it, my girlfriend hated it.

I liked it. It was a little bit of a letdown after reading the graphic novel, but I see why the changes were made. Following the book would have taken it too far out of the mainstream to be a success.

Here are the reviews on the movie/tv board I hang out at.

Quote:
If you like long, boring drawn out stories with awkward acting and no point at the end then this is the movie for you!

I can't believe the reviews it is getting. This movie has the pacing of a dyslexic snail and is at thought provoking as a wet piece of melba toast.

This is the first movie I have actually closed my eyes and almsot fell asleep at. People in the theater were cheering at the credits not because it was good but because it was finnaly over. I actually heard several people exclaim "Oh thank god!" On the way to the car people were just ripping it apart.

Quote:
It's weird, theres like no plot, but alot of **** scenes, and there's some bush
I think that's the main reason it's has gotten the reviews.
Btw the wife is the chick from Assault on Precinct 13

Quote:
Even the **** scenes were awkward. Maybe they wanted to show how he really wanted to have gay **** with his brother? I swear he was going to french his bro for a few minutes there.

Quote:
Just like Lord of War, the reviews will go down to a reasonable level once real people actually see the film.

Quote:
Wow, what a boring pointless movie that was . I wouldn't even recommend renting this yawnfest

Quote:
the entire movie, without missing any shred of detail, can be told to you in 3 sentenses.
it's a horrible movie with zero content.

Quote:
The long awkward silence at the end goes on for way too long and doesnt work....

Quote:
It blew and it has the worst gangsters of all time. William Hurt and Ed Harris will never have to worry about getting mob roles ever again.
It had so much dam potential but fell so so short.

I haven't seen it yet, but I couldn't imagine Ed Harris as a gangster, either...how was Viggo in it?

I thought it sucked. The **** scenese were hot, but completely out of context and didn't belong in the movie. The plot was somewhere between conveluted and non-existant and the ending was a joke.

It had potential, and it had two well talented actors in it, it just fell very short.

I thought it was good but the **** scenes were a little much for a theatre movie.
