Need more of these from our British cousins!
I could understand not liking this movie if someone was expecting
Citizen Kane (and if you were, you should be flogged). For a straight to video/cable movie, it had great prod. value, sharp dialogue, and a great supporting cast of Guy Ritchie characters. Throw in some solid football and you have a film to help you forget the worries of your day. The commentary by the two Bobs alone makes it worthwhile. Jones is good, but Statham steals the show in almost all of his scenes. Like the original (The Longest Yard), it was made to entertain the audience, not to provoke some deep introspective thought on the existence of God. See it, rent it, buy it! If you cant discern the heavy British slang, throw on the subtitles. If you don't have a DVD player, how in the hell are you managing to read this?. bromethyos watch Snakehead Terror movie

I'm not a fan of sport movies and I am not able to watch a soccer match
without dozing off, but this one got me. A sympathetic cast I know from
the Guy Richie's Snatch with lovely variety of British accents, this
film features a lively plot, very funny quotes and a good physical
humor, elaborate shots, and an interesting range of prison characters.
No matter the characters are rather flat, this simplification I was
willing to accept, since the story was so good.
Even though I may have seen better prison movies, and even some that
are similar in plot; the Mean Machine is unmatched in the rather
distant, ironical view of the prison world, honoring fair-play and
manly virtues. Moreover, I was very happy not to see any homosexual
relationships among the prisoners, no matter the actual prison reality.
(On the other hand, I liked the bookie, he had a style.)
All in all, I enjoyed this film very much. Do not expect food for
thought but rest assured this is not a dumb entertainment either.

go go gogo.
Should I stay for half-time, or leave before traffic gets bad?
"Mean Machine" was a crisp, "thud"-packed film that didn't fight with
clich. |
