Straight to Video


Saw the trailor and it looks like a cheesy straight-to-video movie. The only reason why I would see this is to see if you can tell the two stars were hooking up off-screen.

With a budget of $50'000'000? Don't think so.

Of course it will play on the screen but it looks like they spent more on Denzel's $20million than they did on sets, special effects, locations. Carl Franklin can do much better than this but his last two movies have looked like TV "movies of the week".

Very enjoyable film!

No way! The movie is going to theaters first!
That's how mostly every movie in movie history has gone!

Are you being sarcastic? It's so hard to tell online without vocal inflections.

I have no doubt this movie will start in the theaters, but that is hardly how "mostly every movie in movie history has gone." I would say probably 40-50% go straight to video.

The less a man makes declarative statements the less apt he is to look foolish in retrospect.

reply

No I am not being sarcastic.
Because I have seen posters of it in the movie theaters and I have been seeing commericals of saying: "Starts Friday October 3rd in Theaters everywhere."

reply

I meant in regards to your comment about most movies coming out in theaters first. I knew this would be a theatrical release.

This film will be huge in the UK theatres. Going up against LOTR will be a slight hinderence, but the films are completely different, and there has been nothing like this released in the UK for a long time. Trailer may be cheesy, but the film is brilliant.

It hasn't been released in America yet. For my country it doesn't come out until October 3rd.
