My Top 4 of 2011 out of the 45 total films i have seen for 2011 at this point, the 'stand out' films are...
1.Drive (9/10 or 10/10) (in my Top 40 (probably Top 30) films ever out of the 1400+ total i have seen)
2.In Time (8/10)
-.Source Code (8/10)
4.Kill The Irishman (8/10, maybe a 7.5)
everything else is a 7/10 or less. (i expect Mission Impossible 4 (Dec 21st) to slide into that 4th spot)
and in general... 6/10 or lower = Thumbs Down. 7/10 or higher = Thumbs Up.
The Devils Double... i gave a 6/10 (probably a 6.5 though) which, while not bad, is ultimately a Thumbs Down. but it was enjoyable enough for a viewing and it's sad that what happened in the movie, the general idea behind it, is true. basically about 20percent or so was true as you can read here... http://goo.gl/Xl9TZ
a quote from that article...
Latif, 46, says: “The movie is only 20% of the truth. The director wasn’t going to put everything in because we don’t want to make a horror movie. They edited a lot of horrible stuff out because it was too much.
but after reading the article a lot of what happens in the film is basically true. they just could not put everything in there but enough to get the point across that Uday was a monster.
as for where the film would rank for 2011 out of the 45 films i have seen for 2011... i would say roughly around 30th out of the 45 total. so basically out of the films i ultimately gave a Thumbs Down to it was one of the best of those as it was decent enough for a single viewing but probably not a film i would want to see more than once which ultimately means Thumbs Down.
