Oh, Its so easy to call people names.
Just watched it tonight. It was decent action drama, it mixed action and drama nicely. Vin Diesel was pretty good in it, and I liked his performance.
Its nothing spectacular, or must see, but I liked it. It will make a good rental, if you like action movies.
Pier shoot out was pretty good(best action scene in the film), and felt like a homage to gun battle in Heat.
Well I have mixed feelings on this Movie. First things first this is not xXx or anything close. The preview seem to indicate this is a action oriented film, there are some great bloody gunfights, but the real gist of the Film is Vin playing a greiving Husband who just lost his Wife to a Drug Cartel, it explores the lengths one man would go to avenge a loved one. Larenz Tate is great as Vin's partner and Diesel plays his role well, different from his previous work. I guess I expected something different, but still a film that Vin Diesel fans may apprciate. If your not a fan, you probally won't find anything interesting about this Movie.
as everyone knows, i'm a huge vin diesel fan, so of course i was gonna catch this one. like korian said, it's nothing too spectacular in the way of a great film. it does have some good shootouts, and it's a good execution of a story done many times before. if you're a vin fan, definitely check it out. if you're not, then this won't change your mind at all.
i'd have to say, though, this is vin's best acting performance in a starring role. however, he has good screen charisma, which makes the move enjoyable, good acting or not.
Does this movie have any relation to Jean-Luc Godard's "Bande a Part" or is the similar name just a coincidence?
Well the original name for this Vin Diesel Movie was Diablo, so I'm not sure if this is connected or a remake. What is "Bande a part" about?Quote:

The film wasn't too bad and my only complaint was that it ran a little long. The feeling of the film was better than the high-gloss of XXX -- it felt more like a gritty HK film to me, which I like...action wasn't over the top, but didn't need to be. The only thing it needed was a little better plot, as it was fairly predictable -- a few more twists and it would have been great instead of good...
I saw this last night, and I was pretty suprised- it was very good. The trailer made it look like some sappy love story/cop drama when in reality it was a gritty, harsh action movie and about 100x better than XXX. Vin turned in a fine acting performance, as did everyone else in the movie. It was a little long, but otherwise very cool. It had some nice action scenes. Thumbs up from me. :)
