The poster makes this look like a sexy cop exploitation movie (which it's not). This is a surprisingly enjoyable film. The music in it is a wonderful mixture of '80s synth and bass and the theme song rocks! Is it great? No. But is it fun? YES
I saw this years ago but apparently I forgot to check it here, as I heard about Chris Cornell's death (way too soon!) I figured I'd rewatch it today. It's still a wonderful flick with great music and a lot of great cameos.
I watched this as I've always been a fan of Viggo Mortensen and I liked Alonso's earlier work, Los Muertos. I'm not sure what to make of this movie, yes it looks pretty but the end was just weird and in a way nothing much happens during most of it. Can't say I enjoyed it very much. I did like that it was almost like a silent film but it should've had more of a plot in my opinion.
This is not nearly as bad as people will have you believe. Sure a lot of the lines are ridiculous and some of the things that happen are not logical, even within the logic of the film, but still it's not nearly as bad as people say it is.
Very wiggy, not as good as Nixon. W looks like he's a pretty dumb guy who stumbled up the ladder based on his last name while being suckered into starting 2 wars by a bunch of unreliable politicians.
Wonderful miniseries, Michele Placido is a fantastic actor. Good supporting actors too. Decent story about a police officer sent to Sicily where he must face off against a host of mafioso and their collaborators.
It's a lot less serious than you'd expect, and it's not that much of a courtroom drama. The music is awesome, very '70s funky music! Possibly one of Pacino's top 5 performances.
I wonder why Blythe Danner was doing such a weird sounding accent? other than that, pretty good film. Kinda like Ordinary People but more military oriented.

This is the worst Albert Brooks film I've seen so far, I loved Lost in America and Defending Your Life but he is really annoying in this movie.Movie comment on Singles

It's like Das Boot but in a tank. Very good film! Too bad David Ayer is such a hit and miss director, I wish more of his films were this good.Movie comment on Mistress America

I have to say, this has been the first time I've disliked Greta Gerwig in a film. Her character was really annoying for some reason.Movie comment on Showgirls
