@Kirwan someone comes up with an original story in the Star wars universe and the powers that be say "no....lets jam another story into the same 50 year period with the same characters"....sounds about right
If I remember right he's releasing an R cut and a directors cut with another hour in it. So Netflex getting their money's worth.
Hope they release it in theatres too.

Should have added 'with just a garnish of firefly'

i can see that too, i love firefly, part of me wishes it kept going...part of me is now happy it just exists as this short almost perfect show and they didnt get the chance to milk it for a decade and slowly ruin it
....there was a griffon...and light sabers....

Saw a cheapo Netflix film called Bull. Made on a really tight budget (£500k I believe), with a bunch of good Brit character actors. It’s about some violent, very unpleasant villains, with one of them on a revenge spree after a double cross. Lots of flashbacks to flesh out the story. A bit of a weird and slightly annoying ending which doesn’t really gel, but overall worth a look. Not overly long either.

Tbh that Rebel Moon trailer reminds me more about the new Dune films than SW. Looks interesting. 300 is one of my favourite films and I don't mind Snyder's work in general.

Were you a little disappointed by the ending?

A tad
But so many films and tv shows peter out at the moment that it’s almost the norm
I really rate Neil Maskell though
Really good in Hijack recently
And excellent in Humans and Utopia

Yes, both him and David Hayman were very good in their roles.

Always good stumbling on a flick you have only seen once and that was years ago…..
I remember it came out about the same time as Gran Torino and has a reasonably similar story. No one beats Clint ( in one of his best roles which is saying something ) but by golly this must be up there with Michael Caines finest work.
I previously thought his greatest movie line was “you’re a big man but you’re out of shape and for me it’s a full time job” from Get Carter but it might well be what he utters 15 seconds into this clip….
Terrific supporting roles from three future GOT actors too. Well worth a watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it, I love a good vigilante flick !!!!

@Victor-Meldrew A who's who of British violent character actors. I found it quite entertaining. There was a sequel called We Still Steal the Old Way. Similar in vein (as you would expect) but not quite as rounded as the original. Still worth a look though.

No. Looks like a goody. I’ll give it a crack
