One of the best movies I've seen in the last five years.
The way they blended action, cars, guns and music was nearly perfect. And at no point did I think "huh, that looked fake." It was kind of like Ferris Bueller, The Transporter and Kingsman had a threesome and produced a beautiful bastard child. |

I liked the shootouts as well. Someone standing in an open area shooting automatic weapons in each hand at cops- actually get their ass shot off like they would in real life. It gets old watching movies where the police have the shooting accuracy of Barney Fife. Police train for hours at gun ranges because their lives and safety of others depend on it. But in movies, they can't hit the broadside of a barn while the hero can surf on top of a speeding car and never miss. |

Foxx plays a real sleazebag pos in this one, stone cold killer. One of his better performances. Foxx was pretty amazing in Ray and has kind of slipped since then, I think this movie brings back how talented he really is. |

I get your point, hard to get into a movie when they have the details wrong. Like playing modern music meant for an older time period, showing car models not produced until years after, flubbing historic facts, or stuff like using a cell phone before they were invented. I really hate when characters continually pick the worst option available- like when Jason Vorhees is in their home ready to hack someone up- the victim hides in a closet with no escape instead of just running out of the house. I start rooting for the killer. Last edited by Halfcan; 10-17-2017 at 08:39 AM.. |
