Did anyone get to the theater to see this yet? What did you think?

Downhere · 10-21-2009, 03:40 AM

I thought it was pretty good, a little over-the-top, but not bad.

supersix4 · 10-21-2009, 04:54 AM

I was going to go get it when it comes out on blu, but I didn't even go see TDK or Transformers in theaters

Illest Villain · 10-21-2009, 05:05 AM

I just came back from watching it. It's a good movie in my opinion, it was a bit over-the-top at times as Downhere said. I'd give it a 7.5/10, good drama/thriller.

a 7.5 out of 10? huh...I didnt think it deserved anywhere near that, I thought more a 4.5 out of 10. It was too over the top to be taken any sort of seriously and I think Gerard Butler is waaayy overrated and so is Jamie Foxx

OrlandoEastwood · 10-21-2009, 07:05 AM

Did Gerard yell out like he did in 300? You know; "THIS IS SPARTA!"

Mystique · 10-21-2009, 08:44 AM

I liked it a lot!

assydingo · 10-21-2009, 09:06 AM

What could have been a great movie is just watchable.

toddr78 · 10-21-2009, 10:14 AM

While it kept my attention, it is barely an OK movie. The acting appeared struggling at times, and we've seen both of these actors in far better roles.

The script and directing appeared to bring down the film, and I think it was more of a grade B film with mainstream actors. Not sure if they were looking for a low-budget look and feel at times...

The editing and look of the movie was off at times, and must have been rushed in the end.

I would rate it maybe 5/6 out of 10.

If you don't like the actors, who dragged you to see it?

I highly enjoyed the movie for what it was... right up there with Death Race

mikejet · 10-21-2009, 01:32 PM

I read the plot on wiki and I'm glad I didn't waste money on it.

opterasis · 10-21-2009, 01:40 PM

I actually really dug it, up until the last few minutes. The ending really killed it for me. There was a bit of a pacing issue IMO, but nothing I couldn't put up with.

Agreed. I thought Butler was really good though throughout the film, I enjoyed his performance.

Propellarhead9 · 10-21-2009, 07:31 PM
