foutainoflife I found this to be a decent thriller with a splash of gore. Bradley Cooper gave an, as always, excellent portrayal of a photographer who becomes sucked into a darkness that lies just under the facade of the ever functioning city. His curiosity takes him places he never really wanted to go. There was some confusion at the end of the movie for me because I just didn't get or perhaps I missed how some of the characters were involved but it was decent regardless.
kking-68641 It starts out okay, a bit slow but has some promise, and then everybody gets smacked over the head with the stupid stick. It's like the writers decided how they wanted to set up the characters and how they wanted the movie to end, but they couldn't figure out the middle part. So they decided that every character in the story would just make whatever decision would lead to the desired ending, whether the character had any believable reason to decide that way or not. People who should have been killed are allowed to live - why? Because the writers needed them for the ending. A 'bad guy' who notices the 'good guy' following him through the city earlier even though said 'good guy' was trying to be sneaky, but then doesn't realize there's an extra person or two on the train that he is supposed to be clearing out, even though said extra person was NOT trying to hide. The gore is so over-the-top as to be ridiculously cheesy. 'Serial killer' kills some people right away, some later, for no reason other than the writers wanted to add some extra melodrama to an already overdone cheese-fest. So many random cuts and jumping around that it's hard to follow sometimes, while other scenes are long and drawn out to the point of almost putting you to sleep. Random scenes thrown in for no apparent reason other than to fill some time because there really wasn't much of a story. And we didn't even get to see the extra two 'amazing shots' the photographer was supposed to get in order to be in the art show. He totally ignores that in his relentless pursuit of the butcher, but then somehow he's in the show anyway with one extra shot that is so mediocre that the woman putting on the show tells him 'not to hold his breath' on selling that one. But it has to be there because it's a picture of mr evil butcher man that our photographer can stare at for five minutes straight while dramatic music plays in order to suddenly be inspired to ultimate stupidity. Ugh.Not one single redeeming quality that I could find anywhere.
boukitsa In my opinion there was never a good actor called B.Cooper, so that bad film made me so "happy". One or two gore scenes was the best in here. Bad plot, bad acting.
MikesIDhasbeentaken as the name might suggest...No this is Vinnie Jones as a silent (probably for the best) killer. it's got pretty much everything i'd want from this kind of movie..Violence, Jumps, suspense, Vinnie Jones... and of course an explanation and twist at the end so ridiculous you can't help but think it's great. well for me anyways.
