Dreadfully Boring
A lot of fun.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Another expensive Hollywood movie with no faithful acting at all, again! No one can survive that kind of fighting but Usa still lay lots of money for just anything in value. Grow up, wake up Usa and Hollywood. I gave it 3 stars cause it shows the ugly reality going on in the world. A violence spiral, increasing because of no believe in Jesus.
Jamie Foxx can you believe this guy has an Academy award.Stories kind of typical Something that I could have filmed in my high school If you're bored and have nothing else to do go ahead But just to let you know by my review you were warmedI sincerely thought it would be a tad better than this
In Las Vegas, Vincent Downs (Jamie Foxx) and partner Sean Cass (T.I.) steal a shipment of cocaine. They turn out to be police detectives and Vincent volunteers to investigate the battle in the street. Jennifer Bryant (Michelle Monaghan) and Doug Dennison (David Harbour) from Internal Affairs are brought in on the case. Vincent is estranged from his son and his ex Dena Smith (Gabrielle Union) is newly engaged. He is surprised to find out that Stanley Rubino (Dermot Mulroney) and mob-related Rob Novak (Scoot McNairy) are the owners of the drug shipment. Then his son is kidnapped by them.This is a crime action thriller in the vein of a Michael Mann movie. There are some good action with one particularly fun fight scene. The cast is good enough and it has the potential to be a solid crime thriller. The problem is that the movie never makes me care about Vincent and I never do. There are also some logic problems although logic may not be a big sticking point. This has all the parts but fails to put them together.
In all seriousness though, this movie doesn't have that much creativity going. In my opinion, this movie was just a try at a crazy action movie that instead came out as a college project made by people who didn't know what they were doing, and was directed by a guy that said "you don't need a script, just have violence and it'll all be happy happy joy joy." Yeah no this movie sucks. Shoutouts to Ralph Sepe Jr. everybody.
