Bruckheimer films (most not all) have just enough story to get you from action scene to action scene......Sucker Punch didn't. It was counting on skantly clad women to get you through. Slutty looking women wearing very little clothing is very nice, don't get me wrong, but not as a complete substitute for coherent plot.
Plus the action scenes had entirely too much slow-mo. You come to expect that from a Snyder film....but he made it work in the 300 and watchmen. He didn't pull it off here IMO.

Originally posted by Tom View PostI just watched The American and I didn't think it was that bad. It seemed to have a European style to it (not just because it was shot in Italy). I've seen a couple of European movies and this seemed similar in tone.
Russell Crowe is on the other side of the spectrum for me.....guy seems like a prick every time you see him interviewed but I like damn near every movie he makes.

Recently seen:
Unstoppable - very enjoyable thrill ride.
Man on Wire - very interesting documentary about Philippe Petit's high wire walk between the twin towers of the World Trade Center on August 7, 1974.
The Pat Tillman Story - another interesting documentary illuminating how the gov't lies and the press misleads. I loved how the family fought for the truth and to educate people on who Pat really was and that he was not who the press made him out to be. Favorite part was the father's legal letter to the heads of the military accusing them of lies and deception:
"In sum: fuck you......and yours."
Heh..."And I'm a million different people from one day to the next..."

I admit it had me on the edge of my seat but don't get me wrong, it wasn't at all deep (especially the characters) and it was somewhat predictable and the end was cheesy, but still....I really liked it."And I'm a million different people from one day to the next..."
