Guest BROWNer Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 let me save you $5.. if any of you are thinking about renting this, don't. basically it licks the sweatiest nuts. cruise is totally unbelievable and unconvincing as a bad ass. and jamie foxx isn't much better. and the soundtrack is completely wack with a hasty and weak storyline. the funny thing is, as i was watching it i was thinking, wow, whoever directed this garbage is doing a terrible bite of michael mann. the whole mix of a crazy story in a huge nameless city with a ton of music interludes setting a mood. well it turns out mann directed this too. did anybody find anything good about this?

Weapon X Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yo! This movie is hyyyyype! I'm telling you, drink a 12 pack with your boy, smoke a gigantor, and you'll be singing a different tune. It's the perfect movie to be talking while you're watching. It's one of those good 'bad' movies, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigan Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 cruise tripping over the chair and the scene where he kills those 2 'thugs' are pretty much the only good things about the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Besides being terribly predictable, I found it entertaining and well made. I definitely don't think it deserves all the praise it's gotten though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveboxcars Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 ive only seen a small part of it, jamie foxx seemed to do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T=E=A=S=E Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 i thought it was pretty tight. cruise was pretty trippy and crazy, you know you woulda been scared. and the whole point to the movie i thought was dope: "stop putting your dreams on hold and make them happen starting today"...

The Dude Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Originally posted by gigan@Jan 12 2005, 06:11 PM cruise tripping over the chair and the scene where he kills those 2 'thugs' are pretty much the only good things about the movie. Quoted post the tripping on the chair incident was something i watched with my roommate over and over, but the movie started to suck when jamie foxx picked up jada pinkett and she reveals that she is a prosecutor. ok, a prosecutor in LA that has to get around by taxi? anyone who is familiar with LA knows that no here takes taxis except for drunks. yeah right, and her dropping her number to him a fucking cabby? c'mon....

Fabo 2 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 it's not that bad. but there are too many shots of the city at night, that shit gets annoying. also was it filmed on digital? doesn't look like film stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slave_one Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 i enjoyed most of it...except when that song came on with that guy singing. they should've just made it an instrumental when they were driving around. i also liked the camera angles they used when filming; it almost made it seem like you weren't in LA.

Quoted post [/b] the whole jada story was bullshit. you couldnt half tell what was gonna happen there. i mean you dont put one of the main actors on i nthe 1st 5 minutes and then never see her again. the scene in the nightclub when tom cruise is wasting everybody is pretty cool.

I agree, the night club scene when hes taking on the guy's bodyguards is probably the best part of the whole movie. Hes taking all of them on and almost catches it, but he finds his way out. Hands down the best fight scene ive seen in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
