A truly awful con movie. Pretty much everything about it was awful. Charlie Sheen ends up looking like a decent actor, in his few scenes, by comparison with the rest of the cast.
After catching Snitch, and the beginning of this movie, I thought it might be a bit of another well meaning movie, but it's just contrived action/adventure.
I like to give Tim Allen credit, for making funny, family friendly movies, but this is pretty bad, whether you like super-heroes or not. The few good lines are swamped by mediocrity.
It does try to point fingers, and surely, some of those fingers are correctly pointed, but I really am left wondering about the level of scholarship.
A movie of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Eddie Murphy, apparently, liked the type of cop movie where you learned things about how police do their business from the cops in the story. He sounds like a bad PSA doing it. Michael Rapaport does not come off as a super-cop. This was only slightly better than Murphy's debut album.
Did I actually watch this?
I like pot, but not this movie.
Although, to be fair, the very next day I had a momentary pancreatitis scare, until I remember the symptoms, as revealed in the movie.
A well-produced mediocre movie about prohibition-era moonshiners vs. the Federal government set in Virginia.
I appreciate stoic characters like Tom Hardy's.
I did not expect to find a Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson movie with a social conscience, but, here you go.
I think it is well balanced, between making a point, and being a reasonably entertaining movie.
Too bad the son was such a mediocre actor.
This could have been an OK movie, but then, during the scene where the male lead is talking to himself in the mirror, and the subsequent scene, it descends it fetid crap.
Hard to overlook the glaring ultra-cheapness of this movie.
Or the complete lack of any acting which could be called "good."
The story wasn't too terrible, though. I'm not sure about the ending, but this seems like it was a reasonable short story that could be remade into a passable movie.
For a while I couldn't get over that the criminal's "plan" involved making sure someone handed them the cash and left, even though he could have easily kept it until it needed to be spent. Just now I realized they could have had a fake doctor's office ready, with a fake cashier.
Overall? Lots of nice bits.
