I have one word to describe this movie, HUH? I heard the hype and was ready for a violent, but good movie. What did I get? Sure I got the violence, a little on the unnecessary side, but I didn’t get a movie. I thought all movies should have a beginning, middle and end. That is what a good story should have and isn’t a movie a story with pictures?
So there was a drug bust gone bad and this regular Joe finds a bag of money. At the same time there is this mean looking large man that goes around shooting people in the head with compressed air for no real reason at all. Sure the cop had to die for him to escape but did the guy he pulled over to steal his car? *shrugs* And everyone mumbles which doesn’t help in the whole understanding thing.
The rest of the movie we are taken on a ride where the regular Joe sets out to get away from the large man, but retain the money and get back to his wife. Then there are characters introduce, but not formally, so if someone walks in and asked who is that, you sit there with a dumb look on your face. Oh, and there is Tommy Lee Jones. He is the crotchety old sheriff that just doesn’t understand the killing these young people do. Yeah, well join the club Mr. Jones. Then the movie ends and you shoot up from your comfy position on the sofa and scream, “What the hell?”. I swear I have never been so angry in all my life.
I am sure this movie has some deep meaning and makes all kinds of sense, but if the general public, meaning me, can’t get it what is the point. This will be a movie that will haunt me to my death bed where I exclaim what was that movie about and then kill over.
