If you are talking about this one http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050086/ then I have seen it dozens of times including when it first came out. Not a bad flick at all.

I mean the one with Christain Bale and Russell Crowe....I just scooped up the Blu-ray I knew which one you meant... but couldn't resist....especially since the first one was pretty good. Haven't seen the remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was really good for the first half. So-so for the third quarter. And just plain bad for the fourth quarter where I feel the movie fell apart completely and nothing made sense.

wildcat2334 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I thought it was really good for the first half. So-so for the third quarter. And just plain bad for the fourth quarter where I feel the movie fell apart completely and nothing made sense. +1 certainly worth the rental for Bale, Crowe and Fonda- I guess I expected more...... great cast, cool story and setting that slowly went downhill as it went along, I thought they could have made a much better flick.

BigMikeinNY Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) I liked it, B+ Surround Sound made some of those shoot-em-up scenes pretty life-like, like I was in the middle of cross-fire....jumped a couple of times Edited January 16, 2008 by BigMikeinNY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I liked the story concept a bunch. Thought the acting was solid. Agree it wasn't as 'clean' at the end as it was at the beginning, but I still liked the end, too. B+ ...when it gets right down to it, it's the sort of movie I'll want my kids to watch someday and for us to have a conversation about the ethical choices presented to the characters...

Fatman Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 There were a couple of shaky parts (the trek through the mountains didn't work for me) but on the whole I really liked it. Fantastic cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
