Why so much hype?
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
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.
I watched this movie , and i found it horrible. The only thing that made me continue watching the movie , was the acting of Russel Crowe The actress has a very good potential , but , the way the movie is written ruined it completely The bad guy is a terrible actor. This could be a great movie , if better made , but it was horrible in my opinion. This movie , is one of the worst I've ever seen. I don't recommend it to anyone.IF you are going to watch this movie to see if you have some "good movie time" , you better think twice , only if you're just having a good afternoon with your friends , if you are thinking of watching it alone i don't recommend , you will have no fun at all watching this movie (only if you pretend to make fun of it)
This is a wild fun Austrailian movie that is well worth the ride The action dominates the movie with a collection of odd broken characters that you so often find in Australian movies. The story sometimes borrows themes from other 'road movies' which are fairly familiar, but the unique characters in the movie make this road movie unique in its own very strange way. Russell Crowe a la sideburns is still very cool, yet he does not dominate each scene as he has done in every movie he has made in the past 5 years. His somewhat understated presence allows his co-star Yidori (?) shine - a wonderful Japanese actress whose ingénue childlike looks contrast sharply with her bizarre change or metamorphosis from the gentle opening scenes. The classical musical romantic score is placed in a wild funny contrast to the plot,sometimes in a very campy way--yet it still works. This is not a great movie or a classic--but it has the zany features of movies like "TRUE ROMANCE', (a cult classic) I would highly recommend this movie for what it it is -- a wild action packed funny bizarre ride with a good run of crazy people--- This movie may be a 10 if you view it the Austrailian way --with a keg of good beer--wish I 'd seen this movie on the big screen but I don't recall this movie in the theater years ago-Enjoy--there are even a few good lines that will make you want to go back to it someday so a DVD purchase would not be wasted....
This movie keeps you wondering what the outcome will be. It is about a man who has no commitment to anyone. He then finds himself in a bad situation. It escalates with him finding himself on the run. He rescues a woman. He doesn't know what to do with her but ends up having feeling for her. It has many elements to the film, including suspense, action, and romance. It makes a great movie for both men and women. Make sure to watch this one. It's a great film.
This movie is strange, exciting, funny, philosifical and ends in a fatalistic plot like the two most wanted lovers: Romeo and Julliet. And what is important: their is something hidden in our lives, mostly we are not aware of it. Some people call it God, or destiny or karma, but in this film it is called karma: you can't escape it. Every deed has its consequences and leads to a certain result. The girl has left her man, finds true love, but must pay the bill...PS: Does anybody know the artistsname of the guitarmusic that plays so fine during the movie?
