Review:
I
wish I had a dvd of Karl's hips in that suit, damn. Anyway! Such a
good film! It is hilarious and super action-packed, a film that any
person of any age or taste would surely enjoy. Karl Urban's eyes are
so crazy looking! Every time they zoomed in on his face he looked
well nutty. And a breach of character from their usual for Freeman
and Miram and it was PERFECT! She should definitely play deadly more
often. And uuuugh I hate how well she's aging! SO unfair! Malcovich was perfect as the nutty guy that got shot at a lot!
The only
problem that I had with this film is that the plot really dwindles
and, to be perfectly honest, I'm not even too sure that there really
is much of a plot in the first place. And, yes, I do understand that
the point of this film is not the plot but really awesome actors
being in a really awesome action film and that a shit story line is
still a storyline. I just feel like this one tried so hard to have a
story line and just failed.
Don't get
me wrong, though! I still loved this film and it genuinely is an
amazing action thriller that you should definitely go see.
And Karl Urban is sexy. :D
P.S. Anyone
else notice that the set for Malcovich's house was the same as the
one from The A Team film of 2010? LOL.
Quotes:
'Ivan:
This
was done to me by the love of my life. Now she sits outside my house
drinking vodka. When I woke alive, I knew she still loved me.
Otherwise it would have been the head. It was big risk for her but
one does crazy things for love.'
'Marvin:
Frank, I never thought I'd say this again. I'm getting the pig!'
Overall
Rating: 4.5/5 (+.5 because Karl
Urban.)
