Extremely disappointing


The trailer for this was one of the best I've ever seen ... but man does the movie fail to live up to it. Terrible script, slow ponderous dialogue, just one cliche after another. But I should have known better to see something just based on the trailer. Woof.

i thought i was the only one disappointed by this movie, all the reviews says its amazing but god was this movie sooooo slow and i found the story pointless and dumb

reply

how is this cliche? name me one other movie where the central plot is based on a woman blackmailing a guy into assassinating a drunk driver

reply

For sure it was boring and dialogue flat and crucial plot build up and character development missing. I don't require a film to be too easy, paint-by-numbers, but this film is incoherent, running off a poor narrative. The poor lighting reminded me of a video game...

Opinions vary and my vision is 20/20. Indeed some styles of video games have a dark, goth feel per the look of some of the scenes in this film.

Ridiculous. I have an extensive film library, and watch a wide genre of movies. I just don't post here often. Everyone has their opinion... Dig?

omg, HE been put on your ignore list? how many ppl end up this way in your sad life? i guess a lot. don't ignore childish people, they're the future too. tune your sensitivity, & don't be weaker than ur emailbox. or do, the f icare.

[haven't watchd the movie yet, but i get a "driver", "beyond the pine" kind of vibe that puts me off, but colin farrell rarely done did bad movies... if it's real good i'll say it, errare humanum est.]

also, when u say "everyone has their opinion, dig" it's pretty over-optimistyk, most ppl actually are sold..., impulsed over with or don't ever bother with having one (opinion).

they live their life knowing that thinking is a risky business, they'd rather gamble & watch other ppl's toughts.

& yea, some opinions are more valuable than others. yours was poorly argumented, if u don't like something, click the facebook icon next time, u'll feel like a plebeian all over again.

Too dark? What format did you see it in? The Cinema?

reply

I agree with the videogame comment. This guy most LOVE them - so don't bash them! lol It was just like you said. I wanted to yell "hey, turn on a *beep* light!" half the time. Most videogames are too f'n dark, btw...

Turn up your gamma settings.

Have any of you retards heard about film noir?

reply

I can't understand how a person would feel disappointed after seeing the movie!

reply

Try playing Doom 3 if you want an example of a videogame with poor lighting.

reply

using a game that for it's time had excellent lighting is really not a way to sell your point ...

reply

You were expecting another mindless action flick, just watch the expendables or a straight to dvd action flick

shaddup just enjoy noomi the swedish wonder =)

you mean noomi doucheface? no thanks

It was a bit disappointing. I don't think it was hugely bad but I can't help but feel that there was potential here for it to have been a truly great movie, it just fell short with some parts. Also it did become a bit cliche' as well.

reply

I kind of like it, but there were some things I found very weird.

first of all, Beatrice she is not even close to a monster with a couple of scars.
omg there are so much worst than that!

second, do really American kids no matter the neighbor seriously make fun of a person with few scars at the face?

I am from Greece, sorry for the ignorance, I never in my life saw teenagers make fun of a person with few scars like that!
I lived 2 years in New York, but that scene was very weird & unrealistic, because if that's the case there is something seriously wrong!

other than that, I found it to be a nice action movie, with 1 or 2 surprises.
I guess since I didn't had high expectations when me & my husband watched it, we were pleased.
