This movie feels cheaply made, but considering its subject matter, it
makes sense. The gritty cinema-verite style jumps back and forth
between the lives of street workers and condo dwellers, gradually
drawing these two worlds ever closer. Jump cuts and hand-held cameras
work in this context.The best thing about the movie, and the thing that ultimately overcomes
the poor filming...

This movie takes a long time to get going, and I frequently found
myself throwing in the flag. There are a lot of events which
happen that just don't make sense and don't ring true.
Initially Wes Bentley irritated me, but eventually I got to like him
and his character. He's pretty good at playing a dissociative
psychopath.
Once the story got going it ...

OK. I'm a Caucasian male in my 30's, there is no reason this film
should appeal to me. So, I had the opportunity to see it last night. It
has been a long time since I've been so pleasantly surprised in a movie
theater. Firstly, the performances were great- Duff and Locklear (I
never liked her before, but she's funny and beautiful and delivers...
crazy) were dynamic and interest...

What can be expected from a movie called The Man? A comedy from the
director of American Outlaws starring Samuel L. Jackson riffing on his
Jules character from Pulp Fiction with the dad from American Pie can't
be decent, can it? Surprisingly, this new fall comedy is actually
humorous if not outright hilarious, and it is certainly better than it
looks on paper or in the TV-spots...

I've never really thought about it this way, but I suppose in most cases,
it's an honor to have a sequel. Although no one liked the sequel, I'm sure
Jonathon Lynn is proud that The Whole Nine Yards got a sequel somehow. And
that seems like the case with Cube 2: Hypercube, a sequel to the cult hit
Cube. But then one wonders how there can be a sequel to a movie that was
basically...

Pushing Tin is somewhat of an odd movie. It's not really funny enough to be
considered a comedy, and it's not really compelling/dramatic enough to be
considered a good drama. It attempts to pull off both at once, but never
really succeeds.The pacing seems a little "off". You always expect the movie to pick-up at
some point but it never really does. It does manage to move along ...

As a fan of Geraint Wyn Davies, I wanted to see this film because he had top
billing. The talents of Mr. Wyn Davies, as well as those of excellent
actor Christopher Plummer, were wasted in the movie due, in part, to a
poorly written script and inferior directing. Although Mr. Wyn Davies is a
gifted, versatile actor, the character he portrayed was flat, meaning that
the audien...

Decent if somewhat belated(5 years??) followup to the '86 suprise hit, has
Dennehy and Brown in fine form, some involved monkey business with Vatican
medallions, bad cops and computer records. You gotta like the MacGyver-ish
stuff they throw in, the indestructible hit-man and of course, That Clown.
The Fighting, Animitronic Klown. Quite funny in it's way.This thing is def. tongue i...
