Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Talos Despite lots of good actors, this film (story line) is all over the place. Meg.
Seth_Rogue_One By poser-ish I mean that it's trying to be a gritty crime ensemble flick but it's just a little 'off' in most regards.The acting is a little 'off' at times as is the direction, editing and the cinematography isn't the best, they are trying to make it look fancy but instead manages to do the exact opposite.The overall plot is pretty cool but the dialogue could definitely have done with some enhancements with a lot of cheesy lines that feels like they were taken out of a soap-opera at times.So yeah it's not a film that grabbed me by the edge of my seat and occasionally my mind wondered astray but for the more-part it managed to keep my interest.So yeah watchable but flawed, 5.5/10 from me.
kosmasp Some might argue a perfect lookalike, which wouldn't be wrong at all. The movie itself has quite a few characters it has to bring together or at least introduce and let them play out what they are trying to do. Obviously everyone involved has their own agenda and not everything is as it seems.Acting-wise you get what you'd expect, with so many known faces. Some might be surprised by the women involved, but only in a very positive way. They all have tough roles to play out, but they deliver. While the story might not have that wow effect going for it, it still is as the movie itself pretty good.
lyuf britta really britta'd this movie. slow, uninteresting start. i'll admit my interest piqued when lacey was exposed as wearing a wire, but her character was about as interesting to me as a lemonade icy pole on a 7 degree day. no real chemistry between her and holt, joe was about as dry as a brick (why would mila go for a crusty old man like him), bobby and the other one failed to make me even realise they were supposed to be the tough gangsters (i thought they were the classic smart thug, dumb thug couple), drew was a joke, and i cant remember any other characters because they didn't stand out at all. oh yeah, luis guzman did his thing, though it was a bit forced.really, some moments in here were super super corny. drew walking in slow motion infront of the car blowing up? bobby walking in slow motion before his ammunition and guns supply blew up? no thanks. it really was horrible in these parts.i did like how mila was played. believable acting coupled with a complex character background allowed the role to be executed with style and grace, exactly how mila was supposed to be shown. however lacey's acting was flat and started out looking like something i'd see at a 16 year old's drama recital.the ending was kind of surprising though. i did like the idea of him killing mila/stand-in sadie and it fit well with her story, however it would have been interesting to see if luis guzman was the guy lacey had to get with in the end and lacey really did show up, but that's another story.
