Guy’s Review...
Watched this again with Girl. This movie will not go down in time as one of those classics thrillers. I think it should, It has great suspense, it feels fresh and Gerard Butler is a fucking badass though out. How many other great thrillers like this have you seen lately that have this amount of suspense in it? I think I can only count them on one of hands.
As I was watching the movie I saw that girl was leaning closer and closer to the screen. There’s a scene where the judge who freed one of the killers that killed Butlers family is about to answer her cellphone. Well, the phone blows up and there’s blood everywhere. Girl’s heart almost stopped. I have to say that I had the same reaction when I saw it the first time myself.
This movie is one of those films where you root for the “bad guy”. I would think that that’s a hard thing to achieve. They did here, you’re with Butler to the bitter end. The movie will have you guessing and jumping out of your seat to the very end.
Guy’s Rating: Instant classic in the Girl/Guy household.
Girl’s OL: Something may be said for Butler’s movie choices (ie. The Bounty Hunter), but when he gets it done he really gets it done.
