Just saw it - ask me anything!
As the title suggests, I'll answer any and all questions. Be warned - I'll b on mobile for the next few days so if you're worried about any spoilers be careful, I won't be able to put anything in spoiler tags.
shareAMA on imdb huh?
score out of 10?
Worth paying to see in theaters?
Does the plot (which sounds silly to me) come off as such?
Great cast minus RR! Would the movie be just as good (assuming you think it's good) without the cast?
Just noticed Ryan Reynolds name is not on the poster. Is this deliberate or was he some kind of last minute addition?
Thanks
Not sure what AMA means, sorry
I'd probably give it a 7.5 or an 8. The more and more I think about it the better it is.
I think the movie is very good, but I wouldn't necessarily say you have to see it in theatres. I only say that because there's not really any huge action scenes that should be seen on the big screen, but it'd definitely be worth the money!
The plot isn't at all silly. It feels like a mature man's Self/less, which I did enjoy. The plot is very convoluted, and jumps around a lot which is one of my biggest gripes. It's a very mature story that seems somewhat plausible, at least the way they present it in the movie.
Regarding your Ryan Reynolds comment and poster question, don't deliberately avoid this movie if you dislike him. Everyone did good in their roles, most notably Gal Gadot who gives a very emotional performance and Kevin Costner, who plays a wisecracking a**hole. Tommy Lee Jones could've been played by anybody, and Gary Oldman did fine (as he usually does). There's a reason they don't Have Ryan's name on the poster, he has maybe 5 to 7 minutes of screen time. I was very surprised how little he appeared in the film.
Overall, I think Criminal is a very enjoyable movie, with a surprising amount of humor and some very bloody violence. I recommend seeing it, but no need to necessarily run out to the theatre and see it as soon as possible due to it not being needed to see on the big screen. It's worth watching however and I think any sane person would at the very least find some good in it. Despite the plot getting sidetracked a little near the 3rd act, I think it is still a solid movie. 7.5-8/10.
