I paid money for this?

I love Kurt Russell, and was a huge fan of David Arquette because of Road Racers, but when I went to the theater to see this with my girlfriend we both left. I doubt I would have left if my g/f wasn't practically tugging my arm to leave, but I definitely wasn't disappointed from missing the last half. This is still the only movie I've ever walked out on. This isn't a post trashing this movie, because I've seen worse for sure, but list movies that you've walked out on, if any.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Kevin Costner was awful, and most likely the reason for leaving.

Yeah, the movie is pretty bad, in my opinion. There's nothing to like in it - no interesting dialogs, no funny jokes, nothing to think about. Boring for me.

Ya know....I hated this movie the 1st time I saw it, but I really like it now. For me, it falls under the classic B-movie exploitation films from years ago. I think it is just a grand B-action movie with big (well, they were once) stars in it. It helps when you watch it again with zero expectations and accept it for what it is. Kind of like the Christopher Lambert dvd movies...

Yeah I didn't like it either when I first saw it, those out there films that you can't predict are always hard to swallow the first time. Recently I've been revisting a lot of Kurt Russell films lately, he has been and always will be a Bad Ass, and decided to revisit this one. Russell was still on top of his game and say what you will about Kevin Costner, but when he plays a bad guy, it's a sight to behold. I thought they both played well off each other. These days, KC needs to find better scripts and KR needs to actually look at scripts. How about Big Trouble in Little China two?

"(well, they were once)" At the time it was made, they were.

I Thought it was a great movie, watched it again the other night. I agree not one of their best ones but still good fun to relax and watch, but hey that's my opinion I hated Inglorious Bastards ! love the original
