Delightful.

John Cusack stars in this outrageously funny action comdey movie as an assasin that kills on contract. He returns to his past in Grosse Pointe for a high school reunion and his high school sweetheart Minnie Driver. The couple give the romance in this movie a witty and fresh tone that mixes brilliantly with darker aspects(contract killing). Dan Aykroyd plays the rival contract killer and blends in well with the rest of the outstanding performance of the cast. Highly enjoyable movie.


Debi: So, is there a Mrs. Mysterio?
Martin Q. Blank: No, but I do have a very nice cat?
Debi: Not the same.
Martin Q. Blank: Well, you don't know my cat, it's very demanding.
Debi: It? You don't know if it's a boy or girl?
Martin Q. Blank: I respect its privacy.

Interesting concept they have adopted, wouldnt you agree? Ultimate gangster movie yet.

Connor: Now you will receive us.
Murphy: We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry.
Connor: We do not want your tired and sick.
Murphy: It is your corrupt we claim.
Connor: It is your evil that will be sought by us.
Murphy: With every breath we shall hunt them down.
Connor: Each day, we will spill their blood till it rains down from the skies.
Murphy: Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.
Connor: These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.
Murphy: There are varying degrees of evil, we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over, into true corruption, into our domain.
Connor: For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three. And on that day, you will reap it.
Murphy: And we will send you to whatever god you wish.
[Murphy and Conner join II Duce behind Yakavetta]
Connor, Murphy, Il Duce: And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
Il Duce: In nomine Patri.
Connor: Et Fili.
Murphy: Spiritus Sancti.

Zac Snyder is brilliant! I will say no more.



Dilios: "Remember us." As simple an order as a king can give. "Remember why we died." For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments nor poems of war and valor. His wish was simple. "Remember us," he said to me. That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be. May all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones, "Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie."



King Leonidas: [on being told the Persians are coming to parley] Captain, I leave you in charge.

Captain: But, sire...

King Leonidas: Relax, old friend. If they assassinate me, all of Sparta goes to war. Pray they're that stupid. Pray we're that lucky.

[He takes another bite of apple, as the Captain notices a Persian soldier, still alive]

King Leonidas: Besides, there's no reason we can't be civil, is there?

Captain: [stabs the Persian] None, sire.





My verdict: A Masterpiece!

For all those not familiar with the works of Stephanie Meyer, this movie does not disapoint her work. I am most impressed with the casting of this movie. The most essential component was how the actors embraced their characters and made it their own. Robert Pattison, although i was abit apprehensive about him, proved to deliver duly. A demon, attracts his prey Bella, played by Kirsten Stewart. I cannot tell you how talented she is in this movie. The casting of the rest of the folk, the Cullen family and the Blacks made the movie even more magical. Makeup and special effects, the scenery, the background was carefully chosen and did not dissapoint as anticipated by me.

First half of the movie moves tentively foward, leaving the viewer in doubt whether if its going to continue the same tune but when the baseball match begins, the story immediately rises with the action. I absolutely loved this movie. The camera work could have been improved. The stunts were carelessly done, very messy but could have been easily improved. Does justice to the actual story. A collectors item.

'A lifetime of change can happen in a single moment'

This movie was hilarious if you watched it in its entire context, i have become a big Tim Curry fan ever since. I think that this movie has been addicted to the song, 'and a jump to the riii-iii--ght, out your hands on your hips and pulls your knees in tiiigghhhtt..', this movie is brilliant in its own stupid way. Transvestite, a supposed reincarnation of frankenstein(but more handsome) and a young couple in love. You have to be patient with all the singing and dancing but its an hour of amusement thats definately worth your time.
