RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

RoboRabbit89 I've seen this at least a few times now, I get this film once and a while from my library, it's really good.I'm not saying that it's anything too special but it's quite good none the less. The title I found it under was called "Blackway" the name of the main villain that Ray Liotta plays in the film. I'm surprised that the title was changed from "Go with me" because I thought only the book it's based on was called that, plus I thought it went into production under the title "Logging" since the character Anthony Hopkins plays works at a logging yard.About the story, it's your typical evil sheriff that has the whole town scared of him, that has his hands into everything illegal type, but I feel that it's done at least a little fresh in this. Also the three heroes of the film, Anthony, the kid who plays Nathan and Julia Styles character go after looking for Blackway, to his illegal businesses and finally to his home to kill him. The action scenes are minimal at best since this is a thriller, but the running time is short enough that the action is satisfying to watch.It's a simple story really, the reason our heroes go after Blackway is they have crossed paths with him and he has ruined their lives to some existent, I won't go into spoilers because I feel you should experience it for yourself. On to the acting, the acting is quite good here, Ray Liotta is a good villain as usual, lately he has been in some stupid films and TV shows but I'm at least glad to see him in something decent for a change. Julia Styles is good as well, and she plays Lillian, Blackway's latest victim. I haven't seen her in very much, I have just recently seen her in "Save the Last Dace" which wasn't too bad. Anthony Hopkins plays the lead character Lester, honestly he is always great in a lot of films he is in, including this one. This is basically the latest film I've seen him in, I have recently seen him in the latest "Transformers" film which was at least better than it's predecessor, but honestly I could care less for that franchise, in the best way. The kid who plays Nathan, I'm sorry I don't know him, but he was good. I think I've seen him in "The Final Girls" if it's who I'm thinking about, the movie was alright and his performance was OK.Overall a decently made thriller that is quite re-watchable. I give it 6/10. Sure it's flawed but what movie isn't, check it out.

Michael Ledo Lillian Warren (Julia Stiles) inherits her mother's house in Alaska and returns to the small logging town of her birth. She is stalked and harassed by Richard Blackway (Ray Liotta) who is badder than Leroy Brown as no one, including the sheriff (Dale Wilson) wants to help her. Their advice is for her to leave. She eventually gets the help of Les (Anthony Hopkins) who has lost a step since Hannibal, and has with Nathan (Alexander Ludwig) a strong stuttering half-wit.The drama leads to a few confrontations, with the expected climax.The stars did a good job for what amounts to a "B" film. Ray Liotta is not in the film for most of it."Blackway" and "Go With Me" are the same film.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

sddavis63 This movie is stupid from the start. There's no kinder way to put it. In the first 10 minutes or so we discover that Lillian (Julia Stiles) was attacked by Blackway (Ray Liotta) in the parking lot of a restaurant she worked in. But she didn't report it to the police. Then she discovered that Blackway has been following her all over town. But she didn't report it to the police. Then, in spite of the fact that Blackway (a) has already attacked her once, and (b) has been following her all over town she simply leaves her front door open (not just unlocked - but wide open) on two occasions, virtually inviting Blackway in for a drink. Or something. Seriously - Lillian is not playing with a full deck. Finally, after Blackway decapitates her cat - she goes to the police, only to find a sheriff who's terrified of Blackway and just tells her to leave town - or to find Scotty, who can take care of Blackway. Except Scotty wants nothing to do with Blackway (so why did we need Scotty in the picture anyway for the one scene he appeared in?) So Lester (Anthony Hopkins) steps up with his young friend Nate (Alexander Ludwig) and Lester, Nate and Lillian go searching for Blackway with a gun - except that Lillian says she'd rather do this without guns - but the guy attacked her and cut the head off her friggin' cat! He's insane! The police won't help you because they're terrified of him! You need a gun! Desperately! Preferably more than one! And why - if Blackway is constantly following Lillian, does he apparently have no clue that she's teamed up with these two and is looking for him? My head hurt by the time all came out.Has Anthony Hopkins gone into the poor house? Was he in desperate need of money? Why did he star in this? He's a flippin' Oscar- winning actor. He didn't need this turkey on his resume. And Liotta? He's not got the resume of Hopkins - but I still have the same questions. Same for Stiles. And what of Hal Holbrook? I was embarrassed for him. He had a nothing part as an old guy in charge of some sort of logging company who sits around the office spinning yarns about how loggers off in the woods for long periods of time have sex with trees. Oh my Lord.Having said all that, Hopkins and Liotta and Stiles were all OK in their roles. I "got" Hopkins' character of Lester. His daughter died of a drug overdose, the drugs were probably supplied by Blackway or his men, and now Lester has a chance for revenge and doesn't care if he gets killed looking for it. I get that. It was just a dumb movie is all. I was intrigued by Blackway, and there's some decent suspense as the search closes in on him. But the movie adds some totally unnecessary scenes at the end (which doesn't mitigate the fact that the whole movie was unnecessary) making you wonder: why? Just end the thing. Please. Which looked like what Anthony Hopkins was asking as he stared out the window with a blank look on his face in the thankfully very last scene. (3/10)

JoSantz I don't get the bad reviews...it's a good plot, survival of the fittest. I think it's a film worth seeing just because of the plot. It felt like something real that actually happens. Sometimes you can't count on the authorities to help you because they just don't care and this film portraits that. It's not the best film of your life but it's better than a lot of films nowadays. At least I didn't fall asleep like I did on Avengers or was it Captain America? Maybe it was Spider man or Iron man, not sure they all look the same. (PS: I never payed for these films, always got free tickets).
