Visual beauty, but the dialog is what grips me

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2007)

Many people love this movie because the fight scenes are visually interesting. To me, it is great film because of the dialog. This movie is quotable for many situations. Whether you use it as a joke or you use it as a threat against someone.
Truly this movie makes you want to stand up and go to war for your country because it does rip at your emotions. I don't mean that is a war hawk sense, but in a way that it just jacks you up for anything. Frank Miller is a master of writing and this has to be his best work that does not focus on his love for call girls. His skills here are brought to full power in this masterpiece of the written and spoken language.
Of course, these speeches and quotes are only as powerful as the person giving them and Gerard Butler delivers them like no one else ever could. He proves himself as a leading actor in this role and you would follow him into Hell itself with the way he commands attention.
