If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

Saw it Sunday. All in all it was an OK thriller, but if I did not know Paul Greengrass directed it I'd have sworn it was Michael Moore's first foray into fiction. Or maybe Oliver Stone. Very slanted, largely unbelieveable in terms of military protocols and character decisions. No character development or real acting at at all, except maybe Greg Kinnear.

Thanks for the warning. We'll wait for Netflix. Crazy Heart looks great. |

I heard it was incredibly biased, politically...and that ruined the fun action that you otherwise would've enjoyed. Netflix for me, too. |

It was more of a Bush-bash than a story, yes. IT, I really wouldn't bother with it on Netflix. Two hours is a precious gift. It's very politically biased, it's not a very good story and it's not told very well. |

HOLY CARP!!!
|
I don't like politics in my action films. Spoils the taste. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Thanks -- last on the queue after watching the entire series of Myrna Loy movies. |
