@Nepia Fargo is humorous...this was not, it also failed in its attempt to be like Fargo.
Personally, I found it very humorous. It was worth the $10 I paid to see it so I was happy.
I can't figure Neeson out. His acting in Schindlers List is nothing short of sensational but did he figure it was smarter to go for the easy route of playing the same "washed up but has some old school skills" character in every movie instead ?
Compare his output to Daniel Day Lewis's for example.
At least Neeson isn't grossly overrated.
Yes he is. DDL has 3 Oscars and probably should have more. Neeson can't even do an American accent properly.
Neesons performance as Oskar Schindler is exceptional but he hasn't gotten close since....still if he's being paid a fortune he probably doesn't care too much.
I can accept his accent shitness in the exact same way I can accept Sean Connery playing any ethnicity under the sun with an extremely Scottish brogue. It works for me.

I just won't hear any bad words against DDL. The guy is the farking GOAT.

Steady on. It's bad enough he got two Oscars for playing the same character.

Genuinely made me laugh.
Daniel Plainview, Abraham Lincoln and William Cutting all have the same mannerisms, tone, inflection etc. The same criticism I make of other "huge" actors.

I'll take Bill and Dan but not Abe. That was a very different role imho. But you still have Hawkeye, Gerry Conlon, Boxer dude, gay dude, Phantom Thread Dude. Not many guys can convincingly play those roles and he nailed them all.

I agree on the bolded, and that's where he became a ham for me. I thought he was good as Lincoln though.

Those roles, pre the ham were great, I'd have been 100% in your camp then, I haven't seen The Phantom Thread.

@MN5 How do you not like Kill Bill 1 but like Kill Bill 2? π€
Didn't really dig the chop socky shit at all and the second one had Michael Madsen and David Carradine who were both outstanding.
The chop socky was awesome and then 2 just had Carradine and Madsen dribbling on and on. π

Went and watched the remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels last night.
The big blond girl was simply awful for the first 20 mins but by the end of the movie I thought she did quite a good job.
True-love liked it as she hadn't seen DRS.
3 outta 5 for me as I didn't hate it.

@taniwharugby said in Re: Movie review thread...:
@Hooroo wtf, they re-made DRS, didnt even know they had haha
It's called something else though and I don't recall the name of it. It's got the big blond aussie chick and the chick from Les Miserables/Devil wear Prada
@Machpants Banging means good as in "She was Banging" so Banger is good? Clanger Bad?

@Machpants said in Re: Movie review thread...:
