Finally Hollywood gets it right


For a while now Hollywood has been caught in a trap of trying to sneak into PG-13 territory by writing like sissies. This film pulls no punches, all kinds of expletives thrown around. Its realistic language, and realistic characters with realistic reactions. And great actors at the top of their game.

Totally agree. I loved this film. Thomas Jane and Ella Ballentine were so great together and Fishburne was a great villain too.

Do you just consider every movie a "Hollywood" movie? Even if it's a low-budget Canadian film with no A-list actors?

One of my fave lines is "F you Farmer Jim!" Lol i really liked it. I gave it a 7 because there were plot holes, but for the budget, i really liked it.
