A motorcycle stunt rider turns to robbing banks as a way to provide for his lover and their newborn child, a decision that puts him on a collision course with an ambitious rookie cop navigating a department ruled by a corrupt detective.
The Raid was epic, just got The Man from Nowhere ment to be amazing.
Thought that was just OK myself, started off well in first act but went downhill for me.
Not that recent now, but The Raid was a feckin awesome action movie. I also liked Cloud Atlas, but I gather many didn't!!
What did you like about Cloud Atlas? I was very much looking forward to it but thought it was a terrible mess.
Any body seen The Man with the Iron Fists? Can't work out if it looks great or complete sh¡te!
A bit messy granted. I Just liked the grandness of it, the music, the ambition etc. Trying to spot what actors played what parts, how it all comes together and is linked etc. Just one of them marmite movies I guess; I hadn't read the book either so wasn't let down in that respect.
That's what spoiled it for me at the end that the link was quite tenuous.
I think a lot of people were expecting it to be a lot more clever than it was so felt short changed at the end etc. I perhaps realised early on that it was never going to link in that brilliantly and just tried to enjoy the journey rather than just the end. Could have easily been half a dozen short stories that stood alone but I liked all the different eras and story lines interwoven and it was relatively uplifting in places.
I've certainly seen worse!!
