Wasn't ALL that bad...

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2008)

My opinion of this film... isn't bad... but, isn't great either. Like many before me have said, it lacks..."Umphf" but that said, i still enjoyed it. It had scene's where it made me cringe, ( man with the lawnmower, whole street and one pistol etc.. ) It made me feel sympathetic ( Bloke goes to find his wife ) Yet, again... it comes up, " umphf " is definitely what it lacked, and NO, it certainly wasn't the acting, Mark Whalberg gave his usual performance, that tbh, was no better then most films he has done, so criticising him on this film is to criticise him on every film he has done, since the acting was pretty much the same, if anyone was too blame i would say it was the girl-friend, she lacked any sort of emotion and tbh, was boring to watch and listen too. Script i believe is the biggest killer here, could of been produced in a much more " reach out and grab you " way, but just.... didn't. It's a good film to watch tbh, but not something i will go out and buy as soon as it hits the shelves, but i did enjoy it, and would certainly recommend everyone to at least " Try " it, rather than listening to most people's narrow views, since most are expecting a revolution with every title released, and these days, those are few and far between. Anyway good luck with the movie, hope you enjoy it!
