Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

plexonics A lot of great actors and great performances. Mediocre script. I kept thinking the writer must have watched Coen Brothers Blood Simple one too many times (if that is really possible). Ian McShane is great and the movie is literally loaded with good actors and actresses but it just doesn't quite hit the mark. Worth watching but not great.

CromeRose I'm giving it 4 because it has some of my favorite actors in it, even if the roles given to them were not so great. Beyond that, the movie was ridiculous in my opinion. From the get go, it's a wtf is going on sort of thing, and from there, it gets even less comprehensible. These characters seem to exist in a world where wounds that would kill a normal person living in the real world don't have any effect whatsoever. I thought the scene where Patrick Wilson loses his hand was about as dumb as this movie was going to get. I mean, his hand is lopped off by a machete, he runs off into the night, and next morning is found slumped outside the retired sheriff's house still alive. What world are these people in? Then we get a scene where John Leguizamo is in an SUV that gets slammed by two other vehicles, then has a smoke grenade tossed in, then gets sprayed with bullets from a handgun and an automatic rifle, and yet when the cops open it up they find a bullet-riddled body of a deputized hillbilly and yet Leguizamo has somehow gotten out (he must've teleported) and is behind them with his machete, unharmed and ready to kill. And then, the now one-handed cop is hiding in a closet when the invincible normal human hit man enters the house, but when robo-hit-man opens the closet one-handed-cop has somehow magically gotten himself under the house (he must've used that teleportation trick Leguizamo used to get out of the SUV). It goes on, and gets sillier and I can't believe I watched it to the ludicrous end, where, after part of the credits, we have a scene in which Ian McShane has tracked down Jim Belushi to a restaurant in another magical world where you can walk in, sit down at someone's table, chat with them and then pull an oversized revolver and blast them without having to worry about legal consequences. It's like the director decided that if this happens right as the movie ends n one will think that it matters that it's the stupidest scene yet because hey, the movie's over so naturally the character got away with the murder. Yeah, right. Okay.

Prismark10 This film wants to be No Country for Old Men if it was directed by a second rate Robert Rodriguez.A Mexican cartel arms deal goes wrong leaving several dead and some money missing. Ian McShane is a wily but ageing small town lawman in Arizona, Patrick Wilson is his straight laced replacement, the new sheriff in town. They both join forces as a mysterious cartel hit-man (John Leguizamo) arrives with a literal hit-list, the trouble he is also a police officer. John Belushi is a sleazy used car salesman who seems to be doing the Cartel's dirty work.This is a gritty neo noir B film, convoluted and viscerally violent, at one point Wilson loses his hand in a machete attack but it also comes across as confusing, hollow and silly at times.

randancing By the end of the movie I realized that something was slightly amiss with the females in this little story. The men are written wrong also, but it is the women that caught my attention. They are all vapid and corrupt. The have no personality or motivation aside from their obedience to the men in the film. They do not show any signs of horror or disbelief in the actions of their men and they are absolutely willing to do what ever they are told. Their only reaction is to the possibility of loss to themselves because of losing their man.Either a woman or an extremely feminine man wrote this. Viewing it from that perspective, the film makes sense. The men are stereotypes of men as seen through feminine eyes.The women are not liked by the writer and therefore are more chiseled than living. The men react in the same way women, or very effeminate men would react. This isn't a hate comment, it is simply putting the voice of the film in its proper perspective.
