The cast alone gets my interest.

[–] Rena_Mahone 10 years ago

Yeah, the cast is pretty cool - Gary Oldman, Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Jordi Mollà. A shame there's Ryan Reynolds too.

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)

Michael Pitt is also a good/promising actor

[–] Rena_Mahone 10 years ago

Can't stand him. He's decent at playing psychos though (see Funny Games).

Watch him in the show "Hannibal"... Absolutely perfect.

& Boardwalk Empire

[–] pezoids 10 years ago

I thought Pitt was great in Boardwalk Empire and established him as a fine actor. I was kinda on the fence with him before seeing him in that role.

reply

[–] pruthvishrathod 10 years ago

Yes, he was excellent in Boardwalk Empire
Even Last Days and Delirius are good performances of him. and I'm eager to watch his recent films - Rob the Mob & I Origins

As long as there's Gary Oldman in it, I'll watch this movie.

Yesi, It has great potential but to bad Ryan Reynolds is going to ruin this movie. He should stick to the romantic comedies.

No Raylan, I'm gonna bet my life on you being the only friend I have left in this world.

It looks like he is the lead again, sadly, and he is basically the only actor in the main cast I just do not care about...

[–] nicksaviking44 10 years ago

Well the plot sounds pretty bad. Pretty sure we've seen a dozen movies about memories and stuff implanted in someone else's brain. Interesting cast though, hopefully it's better than the description.

reply

[–] Fisherman82 10 years ago

To bad, I know. What i don't know is why Hollywood is still trying with him. I mean, what great movie has he done in the last 5-10 years? He ruined a possible franchise with a great hero for DC and that crap RIPD.

I know that it's been 3 months since you posted this but I couldn't let something you said go:

Ryan Reynolds didn't ruin anything. Green Lantern was an example of terrible writing and directing, not casting. And R.I.P.D was the exact same. Jeff Bridges also starred in the movie and he is generally considered a skilled actor, my point being that Ryan's series of bad movies have not been caused by him. He could have done a better job of choosing what projects to get involved in but he sure as hell wasn't responsible for the failure of Green Lantern and R.I.P.D

reply

[–] Fisherman82 10 years ago

Well, then maybe he should fire his agent and get a new one. Also, he was the weak link in Safe House.

I thought Costner is the lead, no?

From what I understand Reynolds will play a supporting role.

reply

[–] HesterPrynne 10 years ago

I hope you are right but I guess they are co-leads (which is still bad enough...)

reply

[–] Gornky 10 years ago

Ryan Reynolds is the most promising actor in the cast. He's one of the best young actors in Hollywood.

You've obviously never seen him in a serious role.

reply

[–] Fisherman82 10 years ago

I hope this was sarcasm....and

[–] hbayrakzen 10 years ago

both Manson Vergers are in the same movie (Oldman and Pitt) i takes my attention because of it :)

reply

[–] Salt-and-Limes 10 years ago

From what I know of Michael Pitt's career, I know that he doesn't just chose to be in projects for the heck of it. He picks projects that are interesting and have artistic value. With that in mind, this movie might be very intelligent.

reply

[–] zubostl 10 years ago

Trivia: Nicolas Cage turned down a lead role.

This kinda scares me. We all knows the kind of movies he does now.

reply

[–] Salt-and-Limes 10 years ago

Yes, it does seem very alarming. However, Cage seems to purposely star in projects that are just crap. It could be that he didn't want to take the role, because it was too good for his taste.



I don't know really, but the fact that we have Costner, Oldman, Gadot and Pitt in this makes me think that this should be somewhat decent.

have a break my friend.Michael is my favorite actor and musician for long time .i know he is not making movies for fame or anything like that.he cares about the story,art,if the role is challenging for him. the man played in Hedwig ,Finding Forester,Jailbait,Funny Games,The Dreamers,Last Days and many others,all these movies are different for each other and are really interesting and are not just simple Hollywood crap.

i have been following him from his Dawson's Creek days,i watched his every projects,he is the main reason for me the watch this movie,i know this will already be good . because Michael always brought good movies to me .
also seeing him with Gary Oldman will be interesting

so i just made a joke :)
