Was it a comedy or badly cast action film?


If you could tell then i'm sure you enjoyed it but the script didn't leave room for many laughs and I couldn't tell what Stewart, Eisenberg, and Grace were going for other than to create roles you wouldn't in a million years imagine any of the 3 actors ever playing for real.

Reviewed the film here. Trying to start a fun, informative youtube channel so if you take a look, I hope you like it.

You didn't find the stoner nonviolent couple, who is put in life/death circumstances, not understanding how (Jesse/Mike) could move like he did funny? "Phoebe, I stabbed him in neck and his sh*t, just ended"...all the while Mike is seemingly trying to hide behind a pole...that wasn't funny to you?
That was the first part.
Oh well, I'm laughing typing it. Ridiculous action, also funny at times while being very shocking.

No, it wasn't, you Kristen Stewart die hard delusional fan.

I had the same thought. The trailer made this seem like a comedy, but it wasnt funny at all nor did it really work as an action film. Not sure what they were going for.

reply

I don't care what they were going for, but to me it was a perfect, silly entertaining movie that lets you completely switch off your brain for a little over an hour. Haven't seen one as good as that in a long time.
Every shyt movie tries to be something more than it is. This one didn't, it was adorable.


Pain is inexhaustible. It's only people that get exhausted.

Perfect? You're delusional. You haven't seen one as good as this in a long time? Uh, what are you talking about? Was this the only movie you've watched in twenty years? Adorable? Uh, what? Everything you're saying is nonsensical.
