Bah, I think you're all crazy. If all the scenes could have had cool elements like the sliding on oil, or the table to ramp conversion, or the crashing into and flying into the bad guy van then ya this would have been great, but... most of the action scenes were just "Mr. Hero" shooting a bazillion morons while miraculously evading harm... bleh....
At least Smokin Aces never did that, and all the action sequences were innovative in some way.

His best work was Shoot'em Up, no question. In fact, it made up for Sideways, which was intolerable trash for people who want to pretend to care about cinema and made me hate the guy on a level I hate few actors.
Giamatti was superior in Private Parts... "you are the mother****ing anti-christ" god I laugh everytime I see that. |

Carrots. And of course in a movie called SHOOT 'EM UP, the main way of dispatching bad guys will be by shooting them up. |

I choose to watch this last night during a platelet donation because of Nolan In The News & Interstellar.
The film really holds up. You need to watch this movie twice to really appreciate the tight script where no line or scene is wasted and hints at the twists to come. Once you know the twist, it becomes a game of paying really close attention to the details. It's a different move altogether.
Also, Hugh Jackman at his most dapper and young. Man, he's still great as Wolverine, but he had a perfect physique and Hollywood, excuse me, Broadway-esque face. Also, Scarlett Johansson pre-Widow.

Maybe I'll try to rewatch this but the only Nolan movie I've enjoyed less than this was the Dark Knight Rises. This movie just dragged and had such a silly plot twist of an ending that it totally lost me.

Have you not seen Inception? I have and I quite liked it. This movie? Not so much. |
