I was afraid that this movie was going to be the cliche I'm a tough girl that the government wants blah blah blah. At least it doesn't sound lik ethat.
Don't forget she was the girl in "Atonement" too and way outshined Keira Knightly as far as I'm concerned. I do feel like she keeps getting type cast as the quiet reserved yet pensive girl. Maybe that's b/c i didn't see Lovely Bones... whatever. Can't wait to see this movie - looks fun. :D
What I can't figure out is who is this movie's target audience? As you demonstrated from your "Salt" review men can't accept female action heroes. It's not really aimed at young or teen girls. Seriously who wants to see this movie?
Sometimes it's not about a target audience.Sometimes it's just about making a good movie.Less Micheal Bay type of thinking and more creativity and quality, and I'm in!!
@binioslaw If this were an art house film I'd see your point, but I'm an enterainment journalist I write about feature films and studios and I KNOW they would never produce and release a big budget picture like this just for art's sake. They'd want to be sure to make some money off it (or at least not lose any).
Ok fair enough,I see your point.I just cringe everytime I realize movies with each year, are less about quality and more about money.Maybe it was always like that,but the movies were simply...better? But I digress.To answer your question-in my opinion this movie is for mature fans of action movies.You have action, plot(that little detail that sometimes is left out!),intense music,and star power(Bana,Blanchett) for the sceptics. It's like 'Sucker Punch",but this time you care.
Mark, there's no shame in looking at imdb because I'm sure that's where Kristian looked to find out what else the girl came out on. Now watch, he's gonna deny it. By the way, you're right. Bana does not get enough respect. He was the best person in Troy. He was also a bad ass in Black Hawk Down.
@StuffedBurritoEnt No IMDB for this schmoe burrito, you forget I have a wife and we watch a lot and I am a Peter Jackson fan so I remember The Lovely Bones. And to clarify, we love IMDB and use it often but we like to pride oourselves on not doing research.
@gamer46ful There are a lot of action scenes, there are slow moments for sure but just about the time when you start to wonder where the action is, it hits you.
@schmoesknow ok thanks because I'm ok with slow movie that have build up but I was wondering if they restrained from showing most of the action in the trailer but throwing it in the movie is well worth not seeing in the trailer.
@fushigilady Well listen to our upcoming podcast, Mark and I will talk about the show we had with Rotten Tomatoes that got yanked out from us at the very last second.
I completely agree with Kristen. A little too over stylized, but not too much to the point it was like Sucker Punch. Mark gave Sucker Punch 4 schmoes, so it's understandable to see that he gave this one 2.5 schmoes
@FlyingFocs Ah right, cool. Where in America are you? I have been to the west coast and adored it. I really want to go back and explore more. How are you scotch/Irish descent?? How does that work?
I think the score was one of the best things about this movie, but I enjoyed the whole thing. Especially the long trackshot fight scene with Eric Bana in the subway.
You guys are great reviewers, I really enjoy hearing what you guys think. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your reviews of the big summer films coming up.
Did you guys know the neo-nazi blonde dude villain is Lord Cutler Bekket from Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3? At World's End will do that to a person.
@TRexCoffee Not bad at all, but for us, we kind of pride ourselves on winging it and if we know we know and if we don't well then we let you guys let us have it, I think he cheated.
@10TheNavySeal01 Not wrong at all, but for us, we kind of pride ourselves on winging it and if we know we know and if we don't well then we let you guys let us have it, I think he cheated.
Yeah 4 of 5 from me too! I was really glad to see this movie, I actually saw it twice and that doesn´t happen very often
