The Chaperone (2011)
Turned out to be pretty good
At first i thought " oh great another wrestler falls into the kiddie film trap"..(thank god the rock is working his way out of this) but as it turns out i actually enjoyed the film...by no stretch of the imagination is it a great achievement in cinema but i have only 2 criteria that make a movie good for me... 1. did it keep my attention? 2. Did it entertain me? This movie did keep my attention and did entertain me...so therefore by my logic a decent film... implausible plot...of course impossible action...duh but i cant stand when people criticize films because the plot just "couldnt happen" in real life...but that is why it's a movie!!! it is made to entertain at least one demographic...in the case of the Chaperone...it entertained more.
D-Tox (2002)
eye see you but i wish i hadn't seen this
Okay its an average movie but there are soooo many flawed things about this movie. I agree with many posters about this movie so this is gonna pretty much back up what has already been said. there was no character development in this movie at all, even Stallone's generic Jack Maloy is an unknown person in this film. All the characters at the detox center, holy cow who was who and who was what and who died when??? i could not tell how many there were and who died because it was just way too much to deal with. Stallone, being one of my favorite actors, did okay in this film but i don't think he gave it his all to this movie, i think it was just a paycheck to him. On the other hand Robert Patric was outstanding nice to see him actually use words in his acting. My biggest problem with this movie is they tried really really hard to cast the blame from this person to that person almost blatantly as to say "hey moron this guy did it....no it was this other person"...viewers are not idiots and i felt like this movie did just that....made me dumber for watching it.
Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
Very intense movie
I am sorry to all those disappointed by the ending of this movie but i gotta say that i was riveted throughout. The ending was a little wishy-washy but i am very happy with the rest of the movie. When it comes to great films i don't worry about logic and probability of the circumstances presented because ITS A MOVIE not real life, who cares if it could happen or not. If you want a riveting movie that twists and turns and really keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout then Law Abiding Citizen is the perfect choice. I loved it.
spoiler part
The only thing that kinda angered me was the death of the girl in the car, i felt it was unnecessary to develop the movie. if anything that how the old man should have died because the graveyard scene was a little unnecessary as well.
