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!
