Maybe you have a point there. After making my post, I cut myself so I could feel. Now I realize all I had to do was turn on an episode of Dora the Explorer...Quote:

Ronin is a great big "in your face motherfucker" one director to another.
Other than that Ronin tries for a '70's style while forgetting that most of those films also had plots.
And attempts at "realism".Renois beyond ludicrous.If aliens landed at the same moment I would have bought that scene just as much.Spoiler: Showshowing up at the end to save the day,given that he was just shot several times and left for dead several blocks back
That said I'm still a man so I more or less still dug the movie. :mellow:
Shirley, you are missing a set of quotations somewhere in that sentence.Quote:

Being a movie buff I should probably be aware of what that means.I figure the HD stands for Hamilton Dyce but being long dead as he is how he could possibly be connected to this movie or why he would be ripped I am at a total loss.Quote:

Watched the movie, and actually liked it. Of course, there was the element of guilty pleasure involved with the shootings of modern pop culture blights that dominated the show. What made me enjoy it far more than most of the other shooting rampage shows was the well-expressed monologs. There was actually a message in them that I tend to agree with.
Far from a great show by any means, this one held my attention. Sadly, there were very few surprises after seeing the 2 minute trailer, but that's to be expected.
Overall, a 6.5 filum. :idunno:
Since you gave this a (somewhat) decent review, I'm dl'ing it & going to give it a watch later tonight. I didn't watch the trailer, so maybe it will be better for me. Has to be a lot better than Battlefield Earth. I had to sit through that POS again at my nieces' house because she had never seen it, & thought it wouldn't "be as bad as I said" :shit:
