ada the leading man is my tpye
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
crystalart ...to find this to be more than a good film. It's close to "excellent"!It has an almost psychedelic quality. Leary is outstanding, and keeps the viewer mesmerized with his ongoing dialog that twists, turns, and entwines itself within itself.Joe Mantegna is a great counterpoint to Leary and the two are perfect together.Enjoy this film as one that is different and borders on "unique".I bought it online for $2.25, and I consider it money well spent.Sometimes I take a chance and purchase a movie because of who's in it.In this case it really paid off!Try it! I know you'll like it!
hotelst This movie is an obvious rip-off of Underworld USA starring Cliff Robertson. You owe it to yourself to invest a couple of hours and watch the original. I found this one to be disjointed and hard to follow, with a lot of scenes that didn't make much sense. I'm not opposed to violence in movies but this whole thing seemed to be nothing more than an excuse to blow away one person after another, many of whom were only marginally connected with the storyline. With everyone else getting killed, all through the movie I wondered why Frank didn't just blow Johnny's brains out. He certainly could have and Johnny sure didn't act like someone that could be trusted. Another thing that bothers me is the sex scenes; why do these people have sex with their clothes on? Is that supposed to turn us on? Surely they didn't think they had a shot at a PG rating. Nothing in this movie seemed to play out naturally. as if one were watching people in real life, instead it was done in a heavy-handed and shallow manner.
elvaago Spoilers!While this film is entertaining if you like violent mafia related movies, it's wholly unoriginal and confusing to boot. The main ingredient seems to be Denis Leary being violent, causing violence and enjoying it all. This is also the best ingredient. The other main ingredient is Joe Mantegna being, well, Joe Mantegna like he always is. Not bad either.But the plot is weak. It's Cape Fear combined with Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. But the main rip-off has to be John Woo. For two scenes. 1) The scene in which the 7 hitmen shoot eachother is a classic John Woo scene. 2) The final scene where the 4 people hold guns to eachother is basically a clone of the classic standoff scenes John Woo always uses.Furthermore, the scenes of the trunk copy John Woo. The usage of two guns copies John Woo (Dan "Iceberg" Eagan) and the list goes on and on.But hey, not all movies can be original.
fred-49 Although the movie was only so so the closed captioning was by far the best I have ever seen! Most of the time the spelling is terrible and the captioning out of sync. I use the closed captioning even though I can hear well but find a lot of actors mumble. Also many times the sound track overrides the dialogue. Thanks!
