Tell us why you tardface mcgee.


Costner played a different role for a change and their was an interesting story in it. I thought it was going to be completely generic but it had some cool twists.

The movie was ridiculous. Kevin Costner has an imaginary best friend. Too many coincidences and lapses of common sense to be enjoyable to me. The ending was generic and uninteresting. Here's an idea, if anyone was thinking of seeing this movie, rent American Psycho and you'll be much happier, and probably save a few bucks. And the previews lead you to believe that Costner is a hitman or something but he's a serial killer that gets off on killing people.

It's kinda like American Pyscho but not very off the wall like Pyscho was. So what if hes a serial killer instead of a hitman? It wasn't just an imaginary friend it was like his other half that he tried to satisfy.



It's clear that you dont have the high level caliber of taste that I do in movies.

Haha, whatever. The movie didn't do it for me. I have a great taste in movies. Just ask my snuff dealer.

You can't be a good movie critic if you watch the movie while your high, you have to be objectively alert during the movie and make ask critical questions.

I haven't smoked in months nigga! The action sequences with Demi Moore seemed out of place and blurry. The movie was just fucking goofy. I'm no Siskel but I have seen alot of movies, bad and good, and this one was bad. I definitely appreciate a good movie. The problem is that I was thinking during this movie. I will admit that the acting is good and Kevin Costner played a pretty interesting nutjob but other than that I did not like the movie. I would not watch it again. It is yet another shitty thriller. They come out every month now and I am sick of it. Maybe this movie would have been something interesting five years ago but I just wasn't interested in any of the characters. One thumb down. Scooper, what is it you liked so much about this movie?

I don't care about the movie or anything, but what lead you to believe he was a hitman? I thought it was pretty clear in the previews he was a serial killer.

Really? I can't remember exact hints but it seemed to me after seeing the preview like twenty times that he was a contract killer that didn't want to be one anymore or something. They never really make it clear that he is just a lunatic that gets a hardon killing people. I thought it was gonna be a hitman movie and it turned out to be a crazy dude movie. Very upsetting.

The fact Costner plays in it should have meant something to you.

All of his recetn movies sucked, he's making a Nicolas Cage of himself.

No matter how bad Costner is, I don't think anything can match The Wicker Man.

The movie was decent, convoluted enough that it kept you guessing, but enough cliche to be satisfying when things went the way you planned.

Ending was shitty though.

I didn't think it was that good but I was pleasantly surprised after watching it as I was expecting it to be pretty shitty. I agree the demi moore action sequence wasn't good but I didn't think that was anything that important. I'm a sucker for being surprised because I rarely ever do when it comes to movies that I have seen previews for. I was just defending it from being called a bad movie, I would rate it "interesting."

Worst movie ever...

but Mr. Brooks was a good movie, Kevin Kostner NOT reciting Shakespeare in a movie was a delightful surprise.

The Wicker Man was pretty cool. Just avoid the remake like the plague.
