best3444 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Not looking too hot imo. Looks like a made for TV film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I actually liked it, but with Giamatti there and looking like he will be on the hit list. It sort of reminded me of Shoot’Em Up which he was also in . . . . which I also enjoyed watching as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Shoot 'Em Up is the proto-Hardcore Henry and both are incredibly entertaining, sleazy B-movies with great and ridiculous action with committed performances from its actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it got overshadowed at the time of release in 2007 because the similar film Crank came out in 2006 (and Crank: High Voltage in 2009). I'm also a big Crank 1+2 fan.

Crank is also pretty awesome. I like trashy genre flicks like that. Also, any film labeled as 'sleazy' is an immediate watch from me, I like it sleazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When done well of course, which isn't easy. Very careful tonal balancing more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't think one could take things further than what was in Crank, prepare to have those expectations blown out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
