A Playful Misconception, A Childhood's Dream

I didn’t expect much and I didn’t get much. So all in all, I guess it was alright. One thing that should have up my expectation was the cast. We’ve got legendary Robert De Niro, Clive Owen, Jason Statham and the lovely Yvonne Strahovsky. This would have been automatically cemented a hit. But it wasn’t.

Merely two minutes in and I knew I had the wrong expectation going into this movie. But little did I know, I was going in to watch the worst movie of the year. Legends of the White Snake, the Green Snake or whatever colour snake there is always fascinated me when I was young. I’ve

When the main character who is also the hero is stupid, then everyone else around him has to be even more stupid in order for a hero movie to work. I just realised watching stupidity after stupidity unfold onscreen that it must be so difficult to write a stupid character as the hero of the

The first half of the movie was decent. The second half, however, had big chuncks that fell apart and had massive loopholes. I’m talking about the sequence when the rescue mission began in the separatists compound, just before the torture began. It’s just crazy how that part was written. All logic was discarded to make

In true Steven Soderbergh glory, the movie boasts sequences of scene with only background music playing. I for one found this too much of a good thing, if you see it as a good thing. Unlike the Ocean’s Eleven trilogy, where most of it came with scenes inside the casino and showed the what Las
