Anthony Hopkins aint hurtin' nobody


Anthony Hopkins would get his a$$ kicked if he stepped to me like he does to everyone else. The movies portray him as this powerful gentleman, but he's really an old guy who moves slow.

Yes. Thank god everyone isn't American, eh?

I'm sure you would "bust a cap in my ass"...? Isn't that what one might say in your vernacular?

This is actually a nicely understated film with gentle undertones of the psychological, and yet allowing for occasional bursts of the emotional and exciting.

Quite interesting, yet not too challenging.

Good use of hopkins' range.

One can't help but get the feeling that they wanted to cast Connery in this role.

I get the feeling he is real tough at the mall when he's with 14 of his homies.
And that has nothing to do with being american and everything to do with being a projects street punk bitch destined for a long time in jail.

@ the second poster, as an American myself I have to agree, the OP is an idiot and I despise people like him.

Also, to the OP, if you saw Bruce Lee walking the street fully clothed, not having ever heard of him, I'll bet you'd think you could kick his butt too, I mean after all he's just some short lightweight skinny Asian guy right? Boy you'd be in for a surprise. If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's never underestimate what someone else is capable of, even older folks. Anthony Hopkins didn't come across as frail at all in this movie in any case, he seemed fairly stocky and quite strong. Then again, tough guys like you don't go anywhere without your 10 homeboys / butt-buddies do you?
