It’s one of those movies centered mostly on just one actor, kind of like Buried or Phone Booth. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of that specific genre, but Hardy is always a solid choice!
Arnold Schwarzenegger is just... well, Arnold! I guess the movie is just predictably formulaic junk despite having some heavy hitters in the cast. Billy Worthington's role feels pretty uninspired, honestly... and after Killing, it seems like Mireille Enos has just been lost in bad projects, first all that zombie stuff and now this! The actors are talented, but maybe if they had a different director, producer, or screenwriter—or even just the guy carrying the coffee—things might have turned out differently. It’s a shame it just fades into obscurity like this...
I’d say this is one of those movie franchises that feels pretty mindless and lacks any real wit... though I guess that might not be an issue if you aren't particularly bright!
When you're dealing with a biopic, I feel like the performance really needs to carry the weight, otherwise all that acting talent just gets lost behind how much someone looks like the subject. Personally, I think Abbie Cornish or Amy Adams would be great choices for Grace; they seem a bit more grounded than Kidman, who I guess tends to jump out of the character too much at times.
I'm not sure who would be a good fit for Grace. She was such a classic beauty, whereas Paltrow doesn't quite have that look—she feels a bit plain to me. I guess it was a poor casting choice!
Comparing zombie flicks to Kubrick is like comparing a cheap fart to Chanel perfume! Even though I’m not a huge fan of Kubrick’s The Shining, this movie is just straight-up garbage. His contemporary, Ackerlund, has actually grown into a really solid director, whereas zombie filmmakers seem stuck being singers who just direct cheap, trashy horror movies. With all due respect to the late Sid Haig, who basically carried these films on his back through pure charisma, there isn't a trace of that here. And honestly, getting worked up over his starlet wife Sheri isn't really my thing; I'd rather watch an adult film. It’s boring, uninspired, and feels totally routine, made even worse by the silly music from that untalented guy John. I wasn't expecting much, but this is a total disaster!
I was honestly expecting a total disaster, but the movie actually surprised me in a nice way! It’s pretty fun—I wasn't expecting much in terms of laughs, but it turned out to be a decent dark comedy action flick. I liked it!
I guess the movie feels a bit light, almost like something you'd read as a kid. I wouldn't say it's terrible, but it’s just very easygoing—almost as if the cast and crew were just relaxing with this one between their more intense projects.
Richard Wilson4 said:He mostly just sticks to those niche "Black cinema" movies that barely even make it to theaters in America—you’re lucky if you find them on DVD somewhere.🤷
Well, I am aware of the Madea franchise, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and Alex Cross, but then again, Forbes named him the highest paid man in entertainment; he earned $130 million between May 2010 and 2011 🙂
I honestly can't wrap my head around why Tyler Perry is so famous and wealthy! In my opinion, he’s just a pretty mediocre actor, maybe even a bit desperate, much like Ashton Kutcher.
The movie was just awful, and the acting felt incredibly uneven. Honestly, I don't think Kiefer fits this role at all, and little Emily looks more like a doll with an oversized head—it's pretty unpleasant! The whole thing feels like some Syfy Channel TV pilot or something similar. It’s just not worth anyone's time.
I'm not really a huge fan of Clooney, but I might give it a shot if Matt Damon and Jamie Foxx are in it. The subtitles just dropped, so I think I'll go ahead and watch it now!
