A masterpiece... of junk!

Rating: 4/10 (26 October 2011)

To tell you the truth, I was so looking forward to watch this film for weeks! I noticed the rating of 8.3/10 on the IMDb website and it definitely boosted my intention of sitting down with a cold beer and enjoying an hour and half of action packed movie!!! Well, what a let-down... it started well with the robbery and the chasing through LA, but then the whole thing crumbled. The action totally faded, I was left with one or two scenes of driving for the rest of the movie while the main actor just did not perform so for the driving it drove me bunkers! Anyone, I believe, with a couple words of English could have had the role. His style was cheap with his old, used and bloodied jacket without forgetting that his toothpick in the mouth was like so 20 years ago, god it makes me feel old! The other actors, I'm sorry but they were just shocking, like the soaps characters on local TV. The girl next door, her fella, the gangsters plus the ones I forget were just terrible actors. And just to add a bit more, the music was aged. Have a look on the page about all the goofs in the movie like when he drives the Mustang backwards and gears go up, come on! And what amazed me is when he rammed into the gangster's limo with the front of his car and the front lights were still perfectly working... Quite unbelievable... And let's be honest, if you were in his boots right? You killed one of the two gangsters that are after you, would you show up unarmed in a restaurant to meet the other gangster who wants you dead? And turn your back to him when you are walking through the car park? Exactly! In the real world you wouldn't, well he did... Not many thoughts went on for the making of this movie which is slow, cheap, boring, useless and will leave you angry from the time wasting and the money you just spent watching this piece of rubbish. I am so glad I didn't fork out 8 to watch this... So please, to all the users who thought this movie was great, give me a break and stop brainwashing us. Think twice before writing comments about what you think is a good movie because you are misleading the potential viewers and it just was not a good movie! My rating: 4/10 only for the very few fancy cars shown in the movie.
