Fangirling

I mainly watched this movie because Orlando Bloom made an appearance there. Beyond that, I was surprised by the quality of the movie, the beauty and greatness of it. For anyone who enjoy good battle, gore and realistic: wathc this! Good drama and action is in order.

What could you do if you were invisible? When there is no one to look back at you in the mirror... And more over: what would you do?

The movie sets a few moral questions, investigates them a bit, but in the end reaches its conclusion without great struggle or mindblowing depth. An "excuse" is given, stripping any need for psychological development, and so on.

Overall, not a bad movie.

Almost a dream like implementation, which somehow suits the movie. Thrilling, scary (well, one could work on the visual side, but let's allow it to slide, for now), humorous and intriguing. Johnny Depp is his charming self, carrying the movie on with ease. Things unfold nicely, but not too easily, and not hastily, either.

When the job you do doesn't officially exist, lines begin to blur a little. When you do it long enough... what are the rules left? When you know something's wrong, is it your job to care and fix it?

A movie with a carefree air and light morale on serving as a backbone.

Gibson and Downey Jr. work pretty well together, their characters coming along from the start, pushing and pulling each other slightly on the way but not as much as is usually seen in film; these two just hit it off, carved from the same wood as they are.

All in all the movie has just the right amount of action, scheming, humor and morale.

A movie that definitely makes you think.

The only pretty things are the lies set to block the view of those who are not supposed to see the truth. The only consolation might be that Yuri finally finds his consciense in the end, just a little - even if the cost is the death of one he loves, and being abandon by the rest. That doesn't mean he wouldn't go on; we all have our personal drug we cannot get rid of... In Yuri's case, I think it's more than that.

The story narrative is littered with irony, sarcasm, and dry humor. The story begins from the end, then goes back to the beginning, and from there it unfolds with ruthlessness that cannot be compared with anything else but reality itself.

Compared to the movie version of the film, the extended cut (on dvd) is much better and a fuller movie. It gives time for explanations and depth. If you liked it on big screen, you're gonna love the extended cut.

On its own, though, the theatrical version is already an almost perfect movie. Depth, dedication, faith - and the loss. Battle, cruelty, love, loyalty. What are we fighting for in this world? And is it really worth the fight - and the sacrifices?

The journey of Balian's turning from a blacksmith into a knight is portrayed as if it took only a while, but with some little common sense, we can imagine it took some time (as in reality it must have). When this matter is settled, the rest is one, enjoyable ride; a beautiful, bloody ride.

I remember I really liked this movie when I first saw it. The second time, I really missed a little more depth into things.

Other than that: a perfect movie! It puts you into a fine, jolly mood with its light, almost funny air. Somewhat heavy issues are dealt with smiling faces and polite words. Things might be bad, but they aren't THAT bad, it seems.

The actors are good (although after watching "Heroes" for three years, I just can't place Ali Larter into another role. Sorry.). Although the acting isn't brilliant, it is just as light and carefree as the rest of the movie. Not that it really makes this a bad film. Oh no.

So, what happens when bad rail road builders try to take the lands of the people by force, and a group of young, reckless men fresh from the war decide they won't put up with it? They become local heroes, stealing Robing Hood -style from the "evil" guys and giving back to the community.

While one might think that's a horrible movie with no point or depth, I still think it's witty and worth a watch or two.

A steady, captivating movie. There is no dizzying action, explotions, or dazzling special effects, but the movie manages to be one of the best I've watched recently.

The characters are introduced well, as are their lives and patterns. They grow thorough the movie - especially the brothers Terry (Farrell) and Ian (McGregor). In the beginning the first is a gambling man living on his luck, while the latter dreams big but it keeping his feet safely on the ground.

When the game gets tough, though, it is almost surprising who is going to grow a conscience, and who will bury their fellow men for their dreams.

Drama, love between brothers and family, and dreams close to coming true mingle in this film. Blood is thicker than water, they say; family is everything, they say here. 'How far; how long; how deep?', I ask.

I loved the ending, especially. After all the drama and hard (impossible) decisions, it all comes down into such basic things. Our big struggles in life are such a small thing in the eyes of the world.

This movie is funny as hell.

It has all the typical classification of high school students, and in the end the "hero" gets the girl, too, but it isn't as cliché as movies like this usually are.

Sure, the last few Deeds are almost conveniently arranged, but in the end that just doesn't matter; the movie is funny, moves with speed from start to finish, and isn't overly predictable at any point.

Milo Ventimiglia makes a good, steady work as Zach Harper.

Adventurous, light, touching, beautiful movie. Hilarious at places, serious when need be. The competition turns into struggle for life, new friends and enemies are found. Viggo Mortensen is in his elemnt.

Touching, slow-paced movie that is immensely beautiful to watch and experience.

I saw a few snippets from the beginning of the movie, and the Matrix-fan in me woke up immediately. This is not Matrix, though. Yet I think this ranks just as high in my book. The visuals are not stunning but good, the acting is great, the plot perfect. The emotion and a feel of "waking up" is heady. And believe it or not, this movie can be touching too - at least for me, as a lover of animals.

My recommendation: if you like sci-fi or action just one bit, watch this!

I basically watched this to see Jared Leto's scenes. And I got so much more than I expected!

I am not a great fan of Angelina Jolie, but her role in the movie is beyond perfect. Chaotic. Mad. Painful. Hurt.

And Winona Ryder... Let's not go there. She is damn good, too.

The movie is perfect, in many ways, showing darker side of the humanity, madness, and life itself. Confusion, desperation, broken dreams and lives.

Watch this movie.

This movie surprised me positively, as much as people have praised it. It might get full five stars-rating had they left Jared Leto's short shot in there, but what can you do ;) (Nah, just joking.)

First of all, magnificent acting from Colin Farrell! His accent and style of speking were the first thing to drag my attention: he sounds nothing but the rough Irish guy we have been used to. He shows a range of emotions, too, and being in the eye of the camera almost thorough the movie must have been hard. He does it with style, though, never getting boring, never repeating himself.

The movie flows nicely, is detailed and very human in all aspects. Watch it if you can - though the end is a bit too expected. Oh well, that's only human, too.

Beyond the fact that Robert Downey Jr. is awesome in this one, the whole movie was very much worth the watch.

The characters were never really introduced - not in a traditional way. Things keps spiraling down between past and present, diving in deeper to the events and people in the film, which in return created a sharp, painful, agonizing trip.

So much bad, so little good, and so like life.

I was actually surprised how much I liked this movie. It takes place in history - and looks beautifully like one. The people, clothes, speech, manners, surroundings... It is all well done and detailed. The plot itself is rather clever, at least on a first watch (like a snake suffocating on its own tail, as was stated in the movie), and Jared's role as "Basil" is not something pretty to watch - which makes the movie all the more human. Almost so human it is disgusting.

A lovely, thrilling movie that you can watch without staring at the clock once in a while. Jared Leto is making a fine appearance, not to speak of his fellow actors.

With Duchovny, you first think of X-Files. Watching the movie, you think of it even more. But this is the funny version, and Ira isn't Mulder. The scary parts are rather hilarious, and all in all, the movie is a comedy. So do not expect too much of scientific quality from it! Yet I say, watch it :)

This film was a nice one to watch, an left you with a nice feeling. Perhaps a lit childish, but Depp's acting kept you on the edge, all the time - and made you laugh more than just once.

I am not into horror-movies (which this is, a bit, for me). But all in all, this movie in enjoyable, fun, and visually good. Though at times, the heroes' minds are a bit slow... Especially the view-point adopted from the game is thrilling!

If I usually don't like horror movies - at all - this one was clever enough to entertain even me. Perhaps it wasn't too spooky... And naturally, great piece of work from Jared Leto.

I have no idea what's so fascinating and utterly brilliant about this movie, but... it is. I don't usually enjoy films like this, but I have to admit, I like watching this from time to time.

A touching, serene movie celebrating life and its mysteries. The slow, deliberate change Vianne makes in her surroundings with her silent, kind rebellion is absolutely thrilling and wonderful to watch; her struggle to change yet another stuck-up society into something less rigid and more open and honest.

The characters are interesting. Each of them have their own perks and stories to tell. The actors are well-chosen, fitting their parts perfectly.

All in all, the world of "Chocolat" it a mystical one. The colors, the dialogue, the myth of the clever north wind... It all adds up to one perfectly balanced, mystical movie - one that you shouldn't watch if you're hungry, or have a craving for chocolate when you don't have any nearby!

A good movie to watch, time after time - but not too often. It has action and human relations to offer, but nothing too deep or breath-taking.

This movie is not to be taken too seriously. Not perfect, but a very good one still. It is hilarious to see Vin Diesel messing with two genres that really shouldn't collide: he is a soldier, and this is a comedy. We know how that goes.

This is sweet and funn, to watch: how the children tempt their fate with a well trained SEAL officer. This setting actually works, believe it or not, and some of the scenes are outrageously fun!

But is there really a hope to restore any bit of order into the house, and still keep everyone safe? Watch and find out.

Interesting movie, at most. It makes you wonder how good the book the film is based on actually is (I am about to find out, as soon as I can). Colin Farrell's pure, innocent, and open role is beautiful: this is the way the world and the people in it should be! Prejudiction cast aside, for our hearts know better than cold reasoning, at times.

Once again, Orlando Bloom charms us. His characters is completely irresistable - as is this movie. You really feel sorry for Ned and his companions, and at times, the good turns into bad, and the other way around. Action, drama, humour, depth and feelings. Good acting, and good ending, for once!

An interesting movie, which does not leave you bored for a single moment. Colin Farrell makes a job worth watching, his performance ever a source of mystery and surprise in the film. You can't really make out everything of the characters on the first watch.

One more historical movie of which's "true" events I know little. That probably saved a lot, when I first saw it. Achilles and Patroclos were lovers - forget it, in this film they are cousins... The siege of Troy seems to last only few days - a trick of my own mind, or does it say so in the script? Yet, in overall, we have good casting, fine acting, lovely set-building, and a well-made movie with seemingly massive fighting-scenes.

I haven't seen the earlier movies of the series. Yet this one won my heart! Good acting, marvellous action. Mostly, I lift my hat to Johnny Depp, and his once again wonderful work! If you like guns and action, spiced with a bit of a humour, watch this one!

An entertaining movie with great music by Paul Oakenfold, a supreme cast, and a lot of action.

The plot is awesome (if you don't notice the Finnish hacker who is actually speaking German with his lawyer. At least they got IKEA's country right.) There is a tasteful amount of drama, action and thrills, and the plot isn't too obvious.

The explosions look good, the camera-work is really great, and even the traditional car-chase is eventful.

Travolta, Jackman, Cheadle and Berry make one hell of a starring team. Every minute with them is a time well spent.

A movie totally worth seeing!

The characters are high on life, the acting is done accordingly, and all in all, things are bound to happen.

A little adventure, loads of fun, excitement and terror, bits of love and finally a sound of conscience.

Not the greatest movie of all time, but worth the watch nonetheless.

When I set out to see this, I didn't know what to expect. But it surprise me, in a good way. A movie that isn't pretty, has no happy ending... and on the top of all, it perhaps makes you think about something important. Well acted.

There is Orlando, of course. A different movie from him, and still, once he got on screen he made me smile fondly. As if I was seeing an old friend.

The plot is a tricky thing to hang on. First it seems messy, then it sorts itself out again - until you realize you have seen just a bit from the middle, and things are repeated again, this time giving you the full view into things. A second watch might help on this, I am sure. And it is nice to see how these little stories wind together and back up each other.

The drama and plot are good, though, so the movie isn't waste of time in any case. See it once, and if you don't like, don't bother again.

As a Jared Leto -fan, the first thing that caight my eye was the fact that I could not see "Jared" behind Raymond's character. Some gestures and expressions were familiar - but that's about it. This speaks of some really fine acting.

Travolta is pretty stiff, Gandolfini just narrates, and Hayek is unpredictable and the seemingly real lunatic in the movie.

In a way, I like this. But I wouldn't have watched it without Leto in it. Yet, for those who do not fear the darker side of humanity: go ahead and watch!

I swore for years I would never watch a single Rocky movie: they're not my type, and I could not dislike Stallone any more than I do.

But ever since I got interested in Milo Ventimiglia, I could no longer avoid this final part of the series. The others I won't bother to watch.

To my surprise, the movie was rather good. The growth of the plot was predictable, there was nothing surprising there - and then again, Stallone's performance was rather good. Like a man who has been hit in the head one too many times, but who still cares. The relationship between father and son (Stallone/Ventimiglia) grew from ragged to whole. The change was perhaps a little too swift, but then again, that was not the point in the movie the makers wanted to highlight, I suppose.

The big fight in the end, which was the goal of the whole movie, wasn't something spectacular. Realistic, yes, but that's about it. Once you've seen something like that, you've seen them all.

Great words about fighting and never giving up, though. Inspirational.

This movie is based on a true story - and acts much like one.

The story moves in plunges, which reminded me of a possible investigation of a crime like this: there are often silent, slow moments before things move on again with driving madness.

The end is left mostly open, even while it does mark the conclusion for some of the characters.

And the characters are what makes the movie really click. It is not clear "who" they are, exactly, but it is easy to perceive what they represent, and "what" they are there for. Their strive to achieve the truth is almost self-destructive.

Christian Bale and Russell Crowe make a very good game in this one, and surprisingly (being no fan of his), Crowe is honestly the most symphatetic character in the end.

The characters move, shift, and evolve through the movie, but still in the end it isn't quite clear why exactly Wade (Crowe) does what he does. Maybe he knows he has nothing to lose?

A real movie with great scenery, sounds, and acting.

I didn't expect much when I began to watch this movie. I have heard Jared Leto's (who plays Chapman) various comments, and that is what I basically wanted to see: a failure of humanity. The movie wasn't perhaps very insightful or emotion-wrenching, but it had a certain allure in it. If nothing else, it is in a way very human. Not too deep, and portraying the maddness in it just fine.

Watch before you start boycotting it. This is not a documentary, nor a tribute to anyone, but a little intake to the madness living in all of us.

Even if they have Colin in the "leading role", he isn't that much of the centre of attention. It really doesn't matter, however.

The movie is funny, and has some nice turns of events. Not all of them are original (what is, these days?) and end up pretty predictable , but they do their job.

It is also fascinating to see how the lives of so many people get all tangled together - and how they survive the outcome. The world is small... Each character is given enough space, in my opinion, in this hurried train of events and scenes.

A good watch, gets some good laughs from you, but not a movie that really would make you think or feel for real.

I expected a lot from this movie, but it disappointed me somewhat. The story and casting are good, but something just doesn't click. Special effects are cool, if not always believable, Keanu Reeves does a good job in his role.

Quite a usual action-flick. Not much depth to be found, the fighting scenes work in the favor of the hero (it is amazing how much beating a human body can take before going down), and all in all there aren?t too many twists on the way from beginning to end.

How romance was worked into this movie was ridiculously obvious, and so cliché it isn?t even sweet or surprising ? just dull and boring, not to mention unnecessary.

Wesley Snipes works well in his role, but then again, it is exactly the same act any seasoned action movie actor could pull off. It isn?t his fault, though: the movie just doesn?t have anything special to give.

All in all, the movie is worth one watch and enjoyable during that time for sure. Were the movie longer, though, then we might actually have a problem in our hands. :D

The movie cannot be taken too seriously (yet it is not a comedy either). A fun watch, but not a movie you yearn to see time after time.

Fine acting, and a wicked plot.

It is nice to see how the same story differs when told by one person and then the other; everyone has their own version - and usually none of them is correct.

Who is a friend, a who is a foe? What is the truth, and what a lie? Whom can you trust, and is any of this truly real?

Colin Farrell and Al Pacino make a perfect duo with an unstable balance between each other, even if they are a teacher and a student of sorts. And when things get tricky, can you really suspect the one who is supposed to be your guiding line?

Oh the places where blind trust can lead you...

A war movie that transformed into a law-movie - and later, into some kind of drama. The beginning was good, but by the end of the movie I grew to be a little disappointed.

The characters were seemingly given depth - and no depth at all.

All in all it is a pretty good movie, but everything was as if "half-way done".

And Colin Farrell definitely starred this one - Bruce Willis' character was pretty "macho" all the time, but never really proved himself. As if he had no reason to (so, he didn't convince me).

A dialogue-filled, steady movie.

There's often depth in the discussions, and other than that, some very clever, ironic, fun things said by Larry (Spacey). The topics slide together smoothly, one after another, which is the appeal of this movie I think.

All in all, though, the matters of religion that were pushed in by the end of the movie didn't really appeal to me, and the movie in itself is about the connection/reactions between three men - and that's pretty much all there is to the plot.

A good watch, good acting, but not really my type of movie all in all.

A story that in my opinion never really grew into any direction. I can echo with the difficulty of writing, but that was where it ended. The sad ending appealed to me, making the whole picture seem a little more perfect.

There is drama in this movie, and with no doubt the acting is good, but there is nothing new in here. Nothing striking. At best, it seems just as chaotic as the characters.

I watched this film purely, because Nick Lea was in it, and I hoped the story would be greater than the back-cover promised. Well, the piece was entertaining enough, but nothing worth of applauses. Nothing surprising, really.

Johnny Depp is always good, but this movie isn't really into my tastes. (Well, there's cross-dressing, so that part was interesting. Who said Johnny doesn't look good in a dress?)

As I do not know the real Ed Wood, either, it is hard to tell if this movie is a good portray of his career, or not.

Yet, there are good moments in this movie as well, so it isn't complete waste of time!

The movie surprised me. It was - naturally - nothing like the Disney-animation. Moreover, it was nothing like any movie I had seen. The movie is built on atmospheres rather than those simple qualities we are used to (talk, action). At some moments, the movie was good. Colin Farrell did a good job, being believable with his inner turmoil. Yet the bothering music, the meaningless images, and a loose story-telling ruin most of the good experience.

Yes, this is a Terrence Malick film. I am not into them, actually. The point of the film is more in the personal journey of the men in war, their dilemmas, struggles, and lives. It is touching at times, beautiful to look at, but the film is far too long for my tastes, as it cannot really grasp me at any point. It is as if the space is great, but there is too little to fill it with.

The single half-star comes from Johnny Depp being in the movie. That's it. Without him, I wouldn't have watched this to the end. Not my type of movie, at all.

I didn't find a proper plot, and the hazy, drugged images were so annoying...

Oh, well, perhaps I should watch this again, just to be sure I got it right the first time ;)

A weird, strange, odd movie as only Johnny Depp can make it. (I now can see where the chicken performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is coming from *laughs*)

Anyway, if there was any plot in this surreal movie, I totally missed it. By the end of the movie I began to hope there would be something in there, but... not really.

The characters just sail through the movie without making much sense.

Visually beautiful movie (clothing, set, etc.), but otherwise lacking movie.

There is no real plot anywhere, and the storyline in general is like shattered pieces from here and there - though in chronological order.

The characters have no visible agenda, they don't get room to grow or even to introduce themselves properly.

All in all this movie to me was like one big mess jumping from one place to another, carrying along characters you can't tell apart from each other.

Even if this movie really held nothing I like (except Jared Leto in his amazing role), it was still very entertaining. Rather than showing journeys of several people, it was as if seeing a snippet here and there. Due to many characters, there wasn't really time to get to know any of them properly. That perhaps was the point: a vague idea of everything.

Despite that Colin Farrell's role as Alec is not big in this movie, it is still a rather nice watch. More time could be dedicated to the characters, though: they were not introduced well, and in the constant rain of names and flashes from different timelines, I at least got a bit confused. If you do not pay attention to that, then the movie is pretty enjoyable. Not outrageously funny or amazing, but one worth waching.

A fast-paced movie that still leaves room for the events and characters to grow.

The stunts are good, though not outrageous. People are not shot a dozen times and kept running; they fall after one shot and stay there.

Realistic, suspensful, and well plotted film. The catch isn't released too early, and the audience is kept in doubt for the last minutes.

In a way this movie is really awkward. Sure, that's the point; how do you tell people that the guy standing next to you is actually Death himself, and you have a deal that you'll show him around until he gets bored - and then kills you?

The silent "what should I say?" moments are too many, and too long. While the character dynamics are pretty great, the story is still missing something. It isn't sharp enough; almost three hours of random silence and awkward moments when Death aka Joe Black is trying to figure out the way of human life just doesn't work.

Anthony Hopkins is pretty good, though. Even better than Brad Pitt with his evasive eyes.

Pretty much the standard action flick: street hardened youths become cops (although in this one they actually are decent men who get the job done yet obey the law), using their past to bring down the bad guys. They track down and imprison the biggest man in Mexico drug distribution - and Sean (Vin Diesel) gets targeted after that.

With his wife dead, it is hard for him to settle the score. There is a lot of action following the trail of Sean trying to figure out who exactly is behind Stacy's death. Surprisingly, it isn't all shooting and violence; there is an actual emotional struggle going on which is strong and vibrant.

The movie has nothing new to offer. A man is on a mission to avenge his dead wife, and nothing will stand in his way. The plot kept twisting and turning, though, and the character establishment was good and solid although the beginning of the movie was slightly confusing (but that's just the first few minutes).

Not as clichéd as one might fear, and well worth the watch, really.

A light-hearted teen movie about finding your dream and falling in love - and all in between.

I watched this purely because Milo Ventimiglia is in the movie, but I found it kind of entertaining. The characters were nice, although there was no real growth or depth in them. They all simply had their own funny quirks.

The plot holds nothing surprising. It's almost lame at times. There are funny moments, though, and some beautiful winter scenery. Less downhill skiing than I expected, too (I'm fed up with that sport, after doing it for several years, so I was pleased by that at least).

All in all, this movie is a teen flick of the most usual, cliché kin. If you like Ventimiglia's narrative and some fun, romance, and teen angst, this is for you.

A bit haunting, beautifully distrubed movie of a psychic connection between a murderer and a woman who just can't get him out of her head - and vice versa.

Wonderful, convincing acting; it may not be pretty, but sure enough felt real.

The movie goes with tragic echo from beginning to end, and looks amazing with an occasional "artistic" touch.

Based on a true story and true events. What a farce that trial must have been!

Vin Diesel really looks odd with some hair on his head... But beside that, his performance as Jackie DiNorscio is amusing and entertaining.

A longest, and perhaps the biggest, case against Italian mafia in the USA, and this one man representing himself - since he has nothing to lose and has seen too many lawyers already - makes the 21 months so much more interesting, I'm sure.

The plot is witty and light. There's some drama, but mostly it's a steady flow from beginning to end. I was surprised that the movie was as entertaining as it was.

A strange, even weird movie. Half-way across it I started to wonder: "what's the plot? what's the idea?" By the time the movie ended, I was yet to find out.

The film is entertaining, but confusing - mostly because there doesn't appear to be a strong plot in it. Things and people just pretty aimlessly move about, going on about things that don't really click together. Sure, there is a main thread they follow - paranoia, drug abuse - but it isn't plain or clear enough.

Nice plot twist in the end that explains things a bit, but in my opinion it comes too late.

This movie just barely deserves all the three stars in my book. But that's my honest opinion: I'm sure someone else enjoys this movie more than I did.

Altogether, this was a disturbing experience. While Bale's performance was strong, no doubt, it was also... totally out of it. The war has fucked his character Jim up in the worst of ways, and while he fights to find his footing in the real world, he gets totally lost. Wrong people offering him a job, and he takes it, although it wasn't even what he wanted.

His friend Mike (Rodriguez) is trying to find a job, but getting drunk/high instead of handing out applications is so much more fun. He gets busted, of course, which almost ruins his relationship with his girlfriend. Still, he remains the conscience of this movie to the end.

All in all, the acting is pretty great. I just didn't like the way this whole movie seemed to be high on something. The plot was vague, and I just didn't find that something in this movie that I usually like in a film.

A story of rivalry, magic, cheating, madness, and friendship that once broken tears both men apart.

The movie seems to move a little aimlessly sometimes. It brings together past and present, but it is done pretty smoothly and reveals us a fact after another, eventually creating a story full of layers of deceit and shock.

Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale offer us top-notch performance as tortured men who lost their way a long time ago; what they really wanted is long lost beneath anger and something masked as professional rivalry.

The plot if quite thrilling to the very end, making the viewer wait for the final answer.

I liked this better than "Hollow Man" - perhaps because of the presence of Peter Facinelli.

The plot loses its element of surprise due to the first movie, but at the same time, while there is nothing amazing in this one, it is still pretty solid and good.

Characters do not grow very much, but at the same time, they are given room to play out their own motives.

Strickt aim from beginning to end, with a few secrets to be revealed on the way, and we have a pretty decent action flick in our hands.

If you like action and Vin Diesel, then this is a movie for you. There are some impressive stunts (though nothing very original), explosions, guns, and fast fights.

While there's a lot to see, the plot, while existing, is a little shady. Perhaps for those who have read the book this movie is based on understand it a bit better, I don't know.

Either way, while I liked this one, and found it entertaining and no doubt worth another watch too, it is still lacking something. The plot isn't solid enough, not sharp enough. The changes of personality, especially Thoorop's, come a little fast, slightly unexplained although you can see where they are coming from.

A cool movie, nonetheless, with some cruelty and questioning of morals.

I want to see this one because Milo Ventimiglia has a part in it. The idea seems nice and interesting regardless.

I was looking forward to this because I'm a fan of both Depp and Bale (and yes; I recognized David Wenham too!). All in all I liked the movie, but I also felt mildly disappointed. I had heard from people that "Public Enemies" is good, and maybe I expected too much.

The acting seemed a little stiff. Johnny Depp's Dillinger was charming, determined, and slightly obsessed with certain ideas (protecting and taking care of his own was one of them). For some reason he just didn't manage to be as smooth and charming as I expected him to be.

Christian Bale's Purvis was actually even worse; Bale isn't the smoothest of guys most of the time, but here it was as if someone had stuck a metal rod up along his spine. He had his moments, but they were too few.

All in all the characters were introduced very poorly and aside from the main faces, it was hard to keep up.

There were some extremely funny moments, most of them with Dillinger. The plot in and on itself was on the border of spinning out of control, though; it wasn't very smooth, there was no clear pace in it, and when you thought you would be allowed to breathe for a moment, that didn't last for very long. When you thought the movie was going to end, it just kept pushing forward. The end was bittersweet and simple, which I liked. Life tends to be that way, after all.

The soundtrack shone with its absence in most scenes. The gunfire, on the other hand, was almost disturbing; it was loud, and I'm sure it sounded pretty real, but for some reason it just felt like 'too much'.

The shaky style of camera work also added to the chaos of not knowing who was who and what was really going on. Faces and names kept flying along with the bullets, agendas were thrown into the mix and then not mentioned again for another hour, and in the end they had a very realistic yet somewhat confusing film.

So, looking at it like that, perhaps the story of the movie was very good, and all the other elements ate at it from the very beginning.

An interesting, slightly odd movie. It works very well, though; the further it gets, the less you notice how unusual the characters of Diane Arbus and Lionel Sweeney are.

Perhaps that is what draws them together. They complement each other quite well, and the way their romance slowly brews is amazing. It all starts with fascination, and ends... well, bitterly, but I really liked the end of the movie!

A fast-paced movie that goes right into business without any hesitation.

The characters seem a little distant and obnoxious, but when layers are stripped, their behavior, in a way, gains reason. Not too much, of course, given the idea of the movie, but at the same time it makes you wonder: "why not?". Morality is bounced back and forth in this movie, though never really touched other than from a safe distance.

The way the world of these young pathologists is displayed is probably kind of surreal; I would assume a little gore and nonchalance is added to the mix to give the desired effect. Nonetheless, this is not the job you talk over on a candle-lit supper after a day at work.

I watched the movie to see Milo Ventimiglia's performance, and I was not disappointed.

The emotional level of the characters isn't mind-blowing, but there is some internal struggle to be seen when one looks at the right things. Witty, snobby remarks are thrown back and forth, some of them quite amusing.

For me, the end of the movie was wonderful. "Serves you right" is what came to mind: next time you're about to do something morally questionable, stop for a moment to think if it's something you would like to be done to yourself - with a little extra, of course, because that's how it works between us people. Karma is a bitch, they say.

I'm quite certain my review for this movie will improve slightly after I get to see it with English subtitles - without them, the strongly accented and quick manner of speaking is at times very hard to follow for a non-English viewer like me.

It is nice to see Colin Farrell speaking as he normally does, once again. Not that I hate the honed English with less "Irish" in it, but it brought a lot into his character in this particular movie.

There's some funny parts, and others that have you shaking your head; some gangster action, raw images and bloody scenes. Altogether, though, "In Bruges" is hardly the film it could be.

The characters were not as well drawn as they could be. Sure, we learned each of their main characteristics, but more may have been appropriate. The plot jumped into motion from the start, and made me wonder for a while: "What kind of movie was I expecting to see?" This hardly was one to meet my expectations.

Not my type of movie, but some great actors are involved in this project (Bloom, Portman).

Orlando Bloom playing a rock star in this one? Lol, gotta see it!

I don't fall for romantic movies - or road movies for that matter. So, I watched this just for the sake of Orlando Bloom being in it. (Take this into consideration when reading this review!)

For an evening to be spent with nice, fluffy nonesense, this is a good choice. Yes, there are some dark themes working behind the scenes, but those are covered by the nice, comfortable stuff, eventually. Everything turns out to be just okay.

Some funny moments, but then, those aren't really taken advantage of. The music wasn't for my tastes either.

Kirsten Dunst looked beautiful, and Orlando is... well, his sweet usual self.

This movie deserves three stars for at least somewhat making sense (yes, there is a plot in this one), and for Milo Ventimiglia being there, totally awesome & gay - that always deserves an extra star in my book!

I watched this movie purely because of Milo. And of course, I'm interested in supernatural, but I don't like horror flicks. From the few little previews I had seen, I knew this movie wasn't going to look very realistic, though. The werewolves made me smirk, and oh, no one told me this movie is pretty comedic at places! Werewolf flipping a bird; now that's not something you see every day.

Comedy aside, there is a plot in here, which thickens by the end. Of course some of the plot twists are predictable, and some just plain silly. Like werewolves popping up randomly for no apparent reason, other than a rather hollow plot point...

The acting isn't brilliant, but not bad either. I did love Milo's role as Bo, though.

As a horror movie, there are the usual elements of surprise. The gore is hinted at but not shown.

All in all, a decent movie, but nothing better than that.

Watching this to see Randy Harrison in action.

I haven't seen too many Asian movies, so their style is still a little bit strange to me. All in all, this was an artsy movie (don't know if it is the director's style or not).

There was narrative from the three main characters. Filled with irony, dark humor, and witty remarks, it was interesting to follow them go through their often chaotic lives and dilemmas.

Takeshi Kaneshiro was crazy and totally out of it. Leon Lain was interesting with his life based on so many lies and eventually the wish to get out of the job as a hired killer. His relationship with his "partner" was also rather bizarre and complicated.

The plot was rather shady and shaky. There were two stories, actually, that come together in the end. Both were dark, angsty, and filled with silent tragedy that seemed to cover the entire movie.

Some gorgeous songs were played in this movie.

Two different - yet quite similar - stories in one movie.

Takeshi Kaneshiro's performance was quite funny, yet very deep and observing. Coming to terms with his girlfriend leaving him, and then struggling to move on with the help of nearly-expired pineapples... he manages to find new love. Well, sort of. It is a very dysfunctional relationship from the start.

Both stories tell about love and of the men 'abandoned' by their women, after which they have to either deal with it, or keep pretending there is still hope. Tony Leung's character has an amusing tendency to talk to objects in his home, reflecting his own emotions on them.

Quirky characters, traditional and experimental camera work.

This movie has a solid plot with a slight tinge of madness giving it extra color. If you compare it to "Fallen Angels", this one actually makes sense in a whole lot of ways the other movie didn't.

A silly movie with lots of funny moments.

The cast is pretty good, the characters well and realistically drawn; the blood-lusty boxers, Orlando's Jimmy who is so totally out of it sometimes it isn't even funny... the manager who is just out for himself, a coach who had definitely seen his best days and... you get the drift from there.

The movie itself is told from the point of view of documentary makers, but they still manage to keep the scenes and plot fluent. They don't "forget" that everything on film is shot through a camera which is actually part of the movie.

All in all a decent movie. Not to be taken too seriously. A few pearls of wisdom here and there, and the rest is just slightly on the odd side of fun.
