cool or carrots?




Personally, it's one of the coolest most badass movies I've ever seen.

Clive Owen is great, Carrots are cool. That movie sucked.

Nothing about the movie was believable, typical lame Hollywood writing. I really wanted to like it.

Not believable? I think that was the point of the movie...

Unless you're being sarcastic... because if you are, it's going over my head, and I don't deserve this username...

I'm pretty sure the whole point of the film was to be a way over the top action movie.
It was pretty ridiculous, but awesome

My beef was they tried to stick a typical Hollywood plot line about the evil gun companies and corrupt politicians. I'm not interested in getting preached to in a action flick. Ecspecially as ridiculous as that movies story line was.

The whole point of the film was to joke about the insane story lines and absolutely ridiculous preachy plots that form in action flicks.
