How sad is this?
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Have you ever seen authentic Hollywood drivel? Well, this is it! The story is infantile, characters performed by the actors all have an IQ of zero, and the producers must've been drunk when they made this. I would've understood this kind of garbage being made a decade ago, but in 2003!? And by Gary Oldman?Despite the comments that you can read on amazon.com (probably done by patriotic American boobs), this is one is a complete waste of time. It's unimaginable that this kind of stories still hold a grip over the public. Half the movie is a bunch of cliché sentences and the other half is a meager attempt to portrait cops as heroes. I mean, how many times have they done it before?_Anything_ is better than this. An insult to any man's intelligence.
Gary olman is a great actor...most of the time.and in spite of this movie he is still good.So was Ving Rhames..but his lines are even worse.This is not a bad movie,but with the caliber of actors in it I expected so much more.It almost delivered...but kept stumbling..some of the dialog is very clumsy and awkward.Continuity did not seem to be a concern here either.This is basically a spaghetti western cop movie,starts pretty good and grabs you...then lets you go...what a shame.Still it is worth renting if you like this style of movie.
This was worst film I have ever had the misfortune to sit through. It was painful to watch, the only thing that kept me watching this dreadful film was that it was so bad I felt I had a responsibility to warn the rest of the world not to waste a couple of hours of their lives watching it.There was no plot to speak of and any hints of a plot were so obvious that you work them out at least half an hour in advance. Every word in this film is a part of a line or a speech, there is no 'normal everyday talking' the script is rubbish! The direction was confusing in its absence and the editing seems to have been done ten minutes before the premier.Do not be fooled by the cast as they were also somehow fooled by the script.Worthy of the IMDb bottom 100, and in my opinion should be #1.
Its a wee bit of a shame. The whole film had a terrific idea to it and I liked the twist in the plot on why Charlie Strom (Gary Oldman) was after Eddie Burns (Ving Rhames) and we see a side to Charlie of being a tortured soul out for revenge rather than a villain (this is not an excuse on the things he did to Burns' sister but it was still a nice touch). The whole thing though was flat and a wee bit too predictable.The only actor who stood out was Gary Oldman (who was the only reason I watched this film- otherwise I wouldnt have bothered!) Ill watch it again but only because Gary does a good part in it..... and nothing else. 6/10
