I don't support movie where women are sexually violated and raped. Some every one is desensitized to it until the see it in 3d. What this say what the writer and Filmaker feels about women.

The story is poorly executed, the dialogue is at times insufferable, and the execution of violence is laughably bad. For example, when Emile Hirsch's character is getting roughed up by the drug dealer's goons, his delayed reactions and the mile-away punches and kicks are utterly hysterical, and not for a good reason. Not to mention that one moment his face is perfectly clean, and the next it looks like someone dumped a can of tomato sauce on it to pass as blood. Terrible. Having said that, the directing was good, and the cast overall gave good performances, but NOTHING to write home about. Avoid this flick like the plague, folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-25804543595486200612012-08-29T22:42:56.448-07:002012-08-29T22:42:56.448-07:00@ Le0: He certainly does, but yeah the academy doe...@ Le0: He certainly does, but yeah the academy doesn't usually give awards for forcing women to felate drumsticks. <br /><br />@ Theresa: Yeah, I mean he showed a lot of promise in early films like Frailty, but nothing suggesting this. I have to admit this movie just single handedly convinced me to see Magic Mike.

McConaughey..who would have thought he'd pull this role off? right?

I sat entranced, horrified, and actively asking myself if I should be laughing at the parts me and practically everyone else in that darkened theater (The Landmark over at the Westside Pavilion, btw) was. Never bored, and often flabbergasted, this was simply a cinematic experience.<br /><br />"<i>But of course Matthew McConaughey towers above them all. I balked when I heard his performance compared to Robert Mitchum, a claim I don’t take lightly. But damnit if the boot doesn’t fit. In his lazy sexuality, hooded eyed masculinity and air of barely restrained violence, he earns the comparison.</i>"<br /><br />Oh, Hell YES.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
