This movie was very hyped but did not do well in theatres and now is full well ON DVD! Nicolas Cage being one of my favorite actors plays an assasin payed for a job that goes horribly awry. Meanwhile finding the love of his life in a town he will no longer be allowed to live in the same town or better yet, know what he does for a living. For pictures and a full rundown on the movie follow the link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814022/.
My personal opinion of the movie was that it was decent, there was twist about his girlfriend that you will need to watch to find out about that really surprised me. On the other hand if Nicolas Cage wasnt in this movie I would never even bother give it a second look. It is has some decent action but is SLOW through most of it, more of a love story than an hitman movie.
Im going to keep doing the movie reviews to keep it interesting, and people tuned in, but for the sake of the media class, I must question what is action coming to nowdays with movie nowdays. If the movie isnt full of death and murders we are no longer interested. I have noticed when renting movies nowdays everything is turning to unrated. This isnt because of nudity, it is because of the gore. If the action movie doesnt have it, it isnt good. In class we discussed how people were appaled when they saw a lady get their head chopped off back when. Now we Crave this and they are coming up with new ways to do it without bluntly just showing it. Such as Saw 5 or the guy getting splattered in Death Race.
This is a scary road we're heading down, anyways, Tune in Next week for Lakeview Terrace!

The newest action movies this Tuesday!
This tuesday the big hit that came finally came to dvd full of action was Max Payne. The movie with the star Mark Wahlberg as a cop trying to get the bottom of a series of murders in New York City. The movie is based off of a game that came out years ago for xbox that is known for "bullet time" where he can dodge bullets. The movie has a little bit of sci-fi in it with lots of gun fights which make it a decent action film.
After a little background on the movie my opinion of the movie was to give it a 3 out of 5. I have played the game and was definately looking forward to the movie when it came out. They added the sci-fi stuff in the movie to keep an audience and attract people which was kind of disappointing because the game really didnt have any of that in it, which was what I was looking for. Overall though it kept a decent pace with action and kept me interested for a decent movie.
