One of the worst films ever!


I was expecting a great film. I had seen the Stallone version. It was okay. Boy, was I wrong. This movie is awful. You have no empathy for Carter. He has been away for years from his brother, he is a womanizer, and we are supposed to like him? This movie was awful. There was a much better film made that year - Shaft. You liked Shaft. This movie was one of the worst films I have ever seen. What an eyesore.

If you thought the Stallon version was ok and this was an eyesore, you are obviously not a film fan. I suppose you prefer giant fighting robots to the Godfather as well??????

You're one of the worst films ever! ZING!

The "I don't find the character sympathetic" reason for not liking a film is over played and lame. So only watch Disney films and let us be challenged by a film that doesn't try to be nicey nicey. Did you like Downfall? Was Hitler more sympathetic?

reply

Bond is a womanizer and a character that deserves no empathy. Seems to work alright for that franchise. I thought this was a great film.

british gangster film the stallone version is like comparing messi with robbie savage !

OK, I'll keep it brief. jeremy3 ... you are a total idiot. Your taste in, and criticism of movies is a joke, and the words you type, well, no one wants to read them.

You sir, are an idiot.

As self-centred as Carter, you see no further than your own desires.

This film did not satisfy your desires and so you crave the desire for others to worship you as a film critic with your pathetic summary.

You fail as a critic as you fail in other aspects of life.
