Gryph Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Go watch it. Some of the best cinematography I have seen in years. Just an absolutely beautiful picture.
Mooney Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Hey, that's got Clive Owen in it, right? The guy from "Inside Man?"
BlackKnight Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I refuse to see it on the strength that Clive Owen is in it. Seriously though I hold visuals in film above most else but the plot of this movie... I just have such a great aversion to it I doubt Ill see it.
BlackKnight Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I expect Englishmen to come with some refinement.. authority... I expect them to be, if not James Bond, at least Colin Firth. Instead we have Clive Owen, a huge ungainly motherflocker with not an ounce of refinement in him, playing amazingly cocksure roles that I find him decidedly unsuited for. In Closer I was just thinking 'ahuh, sure' the whole time. In Sin City I felt like ramming his dopey head into a wall. How Frank Miller (who I assume had a lot to do with the production but am not sure about) let such an insipid portrayal of a character he created onto the screen is beyond me. *Ahem*. I dunno I just get a bad vibe from the guy. If I ever run into him on the street I'd hit him. With relation to Children of Men, I cant imagine he does the performance there any justice either. Granted Theo isnt a 'big man' in the novel, but I'm hearing the film is a lot different? Either way I can't see a Hollywood film with a lead as ass as Owen. The thought of it makes me want to weep.
BlackKnight Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Actually, its already had and finished its theatrical run here in Australia. My mates all went and saw it about 3 months ago.

Cominus Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Saw it, made me cry, good movie, nice action. Bazooka.
Lucandrake Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Awesome movie. I felt like I was in a ride at Islands of Adventure while playing Gears of War during most of the action scenes.
