I was going to blind buy this- good or bad idea?


Because the last few DiCaprio movies i've seen are quite good and I'm a fan of the director. I'm looking for an action flick that'll keep me entertained the whole way through. So is it a good or bad idea to buy this without watching it first?

Its a good movie but light on action and the finale was weak. The opening action scene is amazing. I would recomend Traitor over this though similer film but better action if your looking for an action movie also the green zone is a fantastic movie in the vain of bourne but much more violent.


I HAVE TO RETURN SOME VIDEOTAPES

Its a good film but a film that you might want to consider renting rather than actually buying. The performances are great but it is not something that you would be desperate to watch again.

reply

Disagree with the previous two.

This movie is top quality if you're a Ridley Scott and Leo (and even Crowe) fan. Plus, the William Monahan screenplay is top notch as always.

I own it on Blu Ray and damn glad I do.

Well-- the movie was a little-- uh-- hmm. . .dry? I don't know. I was fairly entertained the entire way through, but I never REALLY latched onto it as a whole. I have no desire to ever see it again, and I'll be glad to not have to endure the torture scene a second time.

Worth a watch, I think, but there is a lack of something, something that is crucial but which I cannot place my finger on.

I bought it for £3 and was worth it, some good scenes but can be a hard watch if you're not into fairly complex long stories with little action. Like the guy/girl says above, just lacks something - a bit of emotion I think.

Not recommended. I just rented it, and saved myself money by doing so.
