jpillian Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Just returned from seeing this movie with my wife. Honestly, I think it was one of the better movies I've seen in awhile. To be sure, I'd have to see it again. Some very rough scenes -- from both a sex and violence perspective -- but not gratuitous, in my opinion. Just accurate to the type of story. I feel like this storyline has been played out in recent years, but I still found myself enjoying it. It seemed like a new take on this type of story, but for some reason I couldn't find myself FULLY enjoying it. Perhaps it was Vigo Mortenson -- I don't know, I'll have to check it out again when it comes out on video to try and nail down some more specific thoughts. Anyone else seen this movie yet?

timitim Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Interesting. its not even out in the theaters here. I would love to see this movie. I have followed the career of Viggo Mortensen since i saw him in the prophecy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 There was a lack of build up.....when we find the "truth" about the main character, well that's it really. I think they revealed too much too soon. Kinda slow. Great performances by Viggo, Bello, Harris and Hurt-- but it just lacked something. Something that just kinda made the movie drag. When it ends, you kinda say-- Is that it? Isn't there more? There is a bit of a body count. Graphic violence (anybody who's seen kill Bill or Sin City won't think it's too graphic however). 2 sex scenes (graphic maybe for a film, but you see alot more sex/nudity on late night Cinemax/HBO/Showtime. Not a bad film...alot will like it, but I was disappointed. goskins grade: C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdowwe Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 After searching for this topic, I finally found it. I rented the movie today...I know, its a wild Spring Break. I thought it was pretty good. I agree with most, that it had some violent scenes and some sex, but Im not complaining. I really think if they wanted to, there could be a sequel.
