Movie review thread...

[MajorRage]

I am being forced to re-evaluate my thoughts on Ms Shue. I'll watch the gif above for a good 3-4 hours and let you all know my updated thoughts.

@MajorRage Variety is the spice of life mate

Could this be the next Untracable (2008)?

[Tim]

BTW, where does Mr Brooks rank in the pantheon of dad-actor thrillers? It'd have to be right up there, just behind Taken.

[Mokey]

@Tim The ending was a bit stupid, but I liked it. A sequel would have been rather interesting, the cold methodical killing of Mr. vs the messy murders of little Miss. Would it be a new form of father/daughter bonding? Would his precise nature eventually lose the plot with her haphazardness?

Untraceable has been on my watchlist for a while... are you saying it's terrible and this new movie looks just as shit, or are you saying Untraceable is awesome and this new movie looks just as good?

[taniwharugby]

It has Diane Lane in it, so automatically gets +1 on the whatever out of 5 MILFs scale you use.

Winslets or Hayeks?

@Milk Untraceable is firmly in the amusingly goofy/silly and entertaining b-movie category. It's a fun watch.

[MajorRage]

@Tim Mr Brooks I thought struggled as it was made in such a way that it didn't define it's genre. It's sort of a hybrid arty/thriller movie. Which mean it didn't quite excel as either. Don't get me wrong, great flick, but I don't think it really reached it's potential as a story.

[Tim]

@MajorRage I thought it was pretty ridiculous/silly, but it was entertaining as hell. I was cracking up at Demi Moore as millionaire cop etc, but it was some of the most fun I've had watching a movie.

Worked out OK as a thriller (in its own way) too.

Thanks. I'll check it out. Good to have the right expectations going in.

A Good Day To Die Hard

In summary: ridiculousness.

In detail: much better when there was no dialogue excluding any line containing the word "motherfucker".

So explosions. Many death. Much crashes.
