Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Finally got around to seeing this

[quote name="Choson"]Totally agree with your criticisms; I turned this on Sunday morning expecting to get at least moderately engrossed and it didn't happen. I think I rewound the same scene about four times before I managed to digest what as happening, just because it was so boring. Somehow the bomb defusal scenes totally lacked any tension for me, but it could be because I already knew the lead guy was going to survive till the end. That said, I knew the entire plot of Se7en before seeing it and still enjoyed that movie. I was expecting at least some decent action setpieces, since people kept claiming "well, it's a terrible movie about war, but it's actually a terrific action movie" but even that wasn't the case. Capping your sniper battle with a slow motion cartridge hitting the ground and not actually showing the target getting hit is like the worst compromise between wannabe war art film and cinematic shoot-em-up.[/quote]
