Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini deliver some pretty damn good acting in this ridiculously simple plot. I think you stick virtually any other actor in those roles and the movie is a joke. Overall it is a really good flick that I recommend seeing. Not a game changer or a paradigm shifter, but a good watch.

Serenity
I finally caught this. Given the situation that dictated its' production, I figured it would suck bawls even though I'm a pretty big fan of Firefly. Even if my expectations would have been on par with Firefly, this shit was really really good. Really good. Watch this bitch if you've seen Firefly but not this. Can't believe it took me so long to watch it.

yeah the drop was good.

now...about this serenity movie....I want to watch it. trailer looked good...you say it's good...but I'm very...umm...ocd?....about certain things. like I could never join a series at episode 3. I must must MUST first see episodes 1 & 2. I MUST! so I feel like I need to watch the series before watching the movie....cause I'm weird like that....:-)
however.....14 episodes is a big investment of time!

I have access to the Firefly series. you say you're a fan so you must consider it to be good yes? I'm curious as to the bolded part of your comment. what mean ye? do you feel that it matters whether you've seen the series or not as far as watching the movie?

Re: Serenity.

Watch Firefly first. It will definitely be a WTF is going on here if you don't. Firefly is good, but the production budget was small. There are a few things that are fairly hokey, but overall the dialogue is good and the character development is outstanding. Serenity is a conclusion to the storyline that Firefly set up and was canned too early for.

Spend the time. Watch Firefly. Watch Serenity. Thank Buehler445.

I never realized that movie got made. It's a legendary fishing book.

"War Pigs".

I never thought I would say this, but Dolph Lundgren gets better with age. Awesome movie.

Also, "11 Blocks" = pure shit.

No. It is a shitty, shitty 'Warriors'-wannabe with a single anti-hero.

Ah. Thanks. I'll have to break that one out. It's a decent flick.

Last night I was thinking about some good movies I hadn't seen in awhile. Judgment Night came to mind.

I watched Jackie Brown again for the first time in 10 years, such an underrated film. Robert Forster made the movie.
