The Offering - eh, maybe I'm just not one for Jewish horror. Blah, not recommended at all.
Watch Crime Story.Police Story - blu ray - This was probably quite the spectacle back in 1985, but today it just feels meh to me. Yes, the action scenes are very well done and are still entertaining, but the slap stick elements that interweave these action sequences is sooooooo dated. I appreciate what Jackie Chan does, but I've never been a big fan, and this film does nothing to change that. However, when I get time I'll take a look at the different cuts and see if they leave more of an impression... as for the original Cantonese version, I won't be rushing back to rewatch that.
If he didn’t like Police Story, he won’t like Crime Story either. There are a few good action scenes but the pacing is poor.Watch Crime Story.
The Game
It felt like if Philip K. Dick wrote a non-sci-fi story (or just de-sci-fied Total Recall / We Can Remember It for You Wholesale). It was stupid and fun, and had that washed out, grungy Fincher vibe that feels almost made for TV and 10 years out of date. I really hate Seven (I like Zodiac and [hate to admit it but] Fight Club), and thought this was sort of a step up from Seven in terms of being actually enjoyable. Though "stupid and fun" isn't exactly what Fincher is known for.
YupAre you referring to the one with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn?
He said he didn't like the slapstick and Jackie's brand of comedy. Crime Story doesn't have any of that.If he didn’t like Police Story, he won’t like Crime Story either. There are a few good action scenes but the pacing is poor.
I’d say check out Project A or Drunken Master instead.
So late to the party on this but I just watched Kingsman for the first time, this fucking scene, holy shit:
The story was so so but the movie was fun. Good turn your brain off and watch a bunch of action scenes type movie.
TBF it is a PKD story.I watched 2003’s Paycheck. It’s like a shitty cross between Total Recall and Minority Report but directed by John Woo and starring Ben Affleck.
