First movie that ever made me root for russian mobsters


and the one hero of the movie is some minor character with only a sliver of screen time at the very beginning and the very end.

Same here

I wanted both sides to crash. I wanted them both exposed with life in prison. This movie was garbage

Have to hand it to Pike for creating such an arrogant, smug, infuriating and irksome character. In fact, she inhabited the character so well it made me wonder about her. Crossed my mind they would've rather let her character live but she was so insufferable it would've been intolerable for the audience.

reply

you are so right.

What do you mean "made you wonder about her"? She is an actress! A good one!

What, if someone plays a serial killer, you start wondering about them too?? 🙄

I wasn't alluding to behavior.

And what were you alluding to?


reply

Ego, psychological constitution.

Pike is indeed a top notch actress and I hope she finds work in the future. I'm afraid the burden isn't on her, but on Hollywood itself. They need to right the ship and start making movies people want to watch.

???

Aside from this pandemic hiccup, the movie industry is making record-breaking amounts of money.

Clearly, they're "making movies people want to watch."

These are amongst the worst if not the worst Russian gangsters on film ever.

Yeah, they were Wile E. Coyote incompetent. First, they were bested by "security" at an old folks home, and then there was "Let's set up this elaborate scheme to make it seemed like she drove drunk and crashed into a lake, but let's leave before we know she is actually dead."

reply

How else the movie will proceed then? If the Russian mobs are real they're dead in the first scene.

Just as countless other movies would be. Silly scenes like that, while annoying, are a necessity.

Just rewatch any Van Damme, Stallone or Seagal movies. If the bad guys are real they would never gonna win.
