Whatever happened to Buford Pusser?
No, I am not out to demand a new version of Buford Pussers story. That
has been done pretty OK by Bo Svensson and Joe Don Baker back in the 70s. But when picking up the puzzle-pieces and trying to make a new film, they could have done much better. Don't misunderstand me. The Rock does quite a good job. There are many actors out there, that are really much worse. But whomever it was who wrote the script - absolutely and definitely cut too many corners, and left out to many details. I know that it is a question of money - but there is also a question of truth and consistency - and there's simply too many holes in the plot to make it really workable. And even though the names and places has been changed - Buford Pusser would have deserved much better than this.. trevaughn_robinson watch The Devil's Own movie

A lame case for vigilantism
It says that they spent $56 million making this movie, and $54 million
of it must have been for the salary of the star, the otherwise estimable Dwayne ("The Rock") Johnson. The production values are too cheap to explain a big budget, and only that much money could have tempted this star to have appeared in this stinker. It is about grievances of the hero expressed in mindless, unnecessary violence, much of it committed by the hero in plain violation of the law, as often as not with him guessing about the rightness of his action. He's actually a vigilante, not a hero. In the end the bad guys were vanquished, all right, but that is almost a coincidence resulting from the maelstrom of general violence. This is a movie that purports to be about right and wrong. If there is any virtue in this movie at all, it is that it teaches, by opposite example, that how you go about being victorious matters. There is a right way to do these things, and this movie shows the wrong way. The original version of this movie was very careful to show the right way, and made a case for nonviolence as well. This version betrays both those values. Don't let your kids watch it.. |
