The Mexican (2001)
AWESOME entertainment
How this got such mediocre reviews is just beyond me .... it was a great story, great casting and stellar performance. The only thing might be the corny backstory of the gun itself, but even that winds up being charming ....if anyone has not seen this film all I can say is you are in for a treat
Bound to Vengeance (2015)
Shameful waste of potential
What COULD have been a decent movie was entirely ruined purely by sloppy writing. Nuts and bolts wise it had enough going for it to be a decent and entertaining Indy type flick...could even have become a cult classic if there were not SO many entirely needless unrealistic components to the script! All that was needed was anyone with a GOOD imagination so that what was transpiring MADE SENSE! And particularly an ending that didn't leave a viewer (like me for instance) shaking his head in disbelief that a MORON was allowed to RUIN all the good effort that went into the film! Whoever botched this all up and I would have to think HAD to have ignored suggestions to fix it, richly deserves to be taken and tortured as much as us viewers have collectively been! GRRRRR! Or for all I know maybe some moron holding the purse strings got his or her mitts into into it...but SOMEONE really REALLY screwed this film up righteously!
Found in Time (2012)
Failed utterly to entertain me. Bizarre AND failed to entertain ME.
Either I am too stupid to "get it" or the one's who claim to get it are afraid of appearing too stupid, like an "Emperor's New Clothes" kind of thing? i won't insist on the latter. I mean it was easy enough to see the artistic attempt, a kind of Picasso thing or something using film making rather than paint. Employing many devices such as masks on Psychologists, and serving up cups of coffee supposedly individually programmed to a person's current needs in something ....
Look, I am not Mensa or anything, not educated in critiquing of art etc. But at the same time I am also not one that can stand being force fed things employing idiot laugh tracks or gross cliché otherwise found so enjoyable to the lower end of the scale...ya know? Somewhere in the middle is what I am saying, for whatever that is worth, considering my opinion.
Bottom line, for me personally? it was a big fat FAIL. I don't think anyone could honestly, straight faced not immediately recognize that much of the acting lacked severely ....amateur hour kind of of thing one might see in after hours soft cable porn or high school plays etc. Don't get me wrong, I mean I really do think I sort of see what the screenplay and direction attempted to do, but it just fails IMHO...as they say "Your Mileage may Vary" (YMMV?) I am thinking that someone more skilled MIGHT be able to pull something off like this attempt, but these folks just failed in my case. (did I overuse the word "fail"? I don't think so...lol)
