WOW - talk about unbelievable, offensive, mindless shite that caters to the lowest common denominator..

Can't believe I really liked it.

Took my Ma to see it (she's 74 and loves stuff like The Transporter/Die Hard etc but she thought it was total crap)..

Its basically about a guy whose gipped by a plea bargain on his families murder who then gets him self arrested while naked so he can destroy the system from the inside.

Its like a cross between Taken and Hogan's Heroes.

My sister also went and informed me I was never picking the film again. My GF though it was silly but alright but then again I think i burnt out the audio/visual part of the brain after amking her watch Grim love/Aftermath and Philosphy of a knife in a rwo without a break..

On a plus side no one was talking on a cell phone during the film.

That's all I needed to hear. I'm there.

 

[Ferox13]

I meant to say 'unbelievable' twice btw..

Jeeeeezuuusss.

I liked it until it started getting silly near the end. And by silly, I mean not consistent with the silliness it had set up earlier.

Is it set in Seattle but shot in Vancouver?
edit: turns out no.

Saw this last night. Acting was nice and hammy but at least loads of them died horribly.

It's class. Gerard Butler going mental and blowing loads of people up. Fuckin right. Colm Meaney being amazing. FUCKIN RIGHT.

Quoted for truth!!!!!

I enjoyed it, the end was a bit naff but the carnage was .|..|

 

[Cormcolash]

Yeah, like it totally should have ended with him blowing everything up and getting away. That would have been FUCKING AMAZING!

 

[seanface]

haven't enjoyed a daft movie at the cinema as much since death sentence starring kevin bacon.

still don't know why gerard butler was in the nip when he got arrested though

 

[Ferox13]

It was totally necessary to show off his tight buns....

I think TAKEN is my fave daft action movie in recent years (well that and Punisher WZ)

 

[ratmonkey]

I thought that last Punisher was awful, great opening sequence but complete lack of anything after that.

Taken is amazing though.

 

[Cormcolash]

The last Punisher film was fucking amazing.

 

[ratmonkey]

It was, but only for the first ten minutes or so before there stopped being any violence.

Mentally bad. Hugely enjoyable.


The last Punisher flick was fantastic except for Dominic West.

Taken has to be the best of the lot. A Bush Doctrine civics lesson.

Ha. Nice one.

Taken is on Sky Action right now btw.

You must have missed the RPG to the head
