Im watchin it right now on standard DVD so far its tight work

darkpoet25 · 07-21-2007, 01:50 AM

This is something I'd like to see as well. I heard this is a good movie and that Mark Wahlberg did a great job.

Goodguy818 · 07-21-2007, 02:16 AM

I saw it in theaters and on SD and will definately be picking it up on blu

Zaphod · 07-21-2007, 02:28 AM

Good movie from what I hear. Many positive reviews, however since the audio is only 5.1 DD I probably will pass on it.

Sinner · 07-21-2007, 04:45 AM

It seems like its a movie that everyone, except the critics, liked... so go figure... movie critics, what do they know... =P

I'm coppin...

I loved this movie, its a definite buy for me, Mark's best film to date. Good storyline and plenty of action to keep you satisfied.

zombieking · 07-21-2007, 05:07 AM

I really liked it as well. Watching the standard def all the while thinking to myself how awesome the blu-ray will be. Will probably pick it up soon

chadunc · 07-21-2007, 05:14 AM

Yeah it was pretty good. I honestly just dont know about the rewatch value. It tended to get a little slow in parts.

jubaiweaponx · 07-21-2007, 05:41 AM

I saw it and pre-ordered it on blu, should be a killer addition and I enjoyed it ,marky mark has come a long way since his music and underwear ads ,thank god ,lol

drwatson1234 · 07-21-2007, 05:48 AM

I think it's a great movie if you watch it with the proper expectations. That being said, just expect it to be a shoot-em-up movie where Mark Walberg takes on everyone... But if that's the attitude you take when watching the movie, you'll love it! At least, I did. I hope you would be the same. I'm picking this and 300 up next week.

PaulDubya · 07-21-2007, 06:48 AM

awesome movie watch it. dont think about it watch it.

jubaiweaponx · 07-21-2007, 06:58 AM

if you have no pre concieved notions on the movie ,it will suprise you ,pleasantly

jedisinclair · 07-21-2007, 08:54 AM

it's good... kind of like a modern day Rambo (yes and no) ... good flick.

KenThompson · 07-21-2007, 01:45 PM

Reminds me of Commando , better acting though. Lots of bullets flying around but never hitting their target. Of course Mark never misses. Highly entertaining. I'd recommend it highly and will be picking it up on release day. HD Digest gave it 4 stars so it must be good .

movies3 · 07-21-2007, 02:19 PM

i hear its really good, i have it on preorder cant wait to get it!

ground chuck · 07-21-2007, 03:29 PM

i just watched it a couple days ago and its a good movie. good action and story lines. definately worth a rental on when it comes out on blu-ray. personally, i'm not so sure that i would buy it for keeps.

Got this BR disc yesterday and watched it today... despite it being a bit over-the-top, I did find the movie to be quite entertaining...

question for those who have fired a rifle or are in law enforcement or whatever... mark wahlberg is a lefty, yet in his opening scenes he is shooting with his right hand/right side... later in the movie he shoots with his left... is that just a continuity issue, or are certain rifles meant to be shot 'right handed'?

Having spent 20 yrs in the United States Marine Corps and having been through sniper training I can assure you that it is definitely a continuity issue.

First - sighting adjustments for left-handed and right-handed shooting are completely different due to a difference in eye dominance.

Second - Most snipers are right-handed due to the ejection port of MOST automatic rifles are on the right side of the rifle and when firing multiple shots the marksman does not want ejected casings crossing his line of sight and possibly causing an ill-timed distraction.
