I saw this movie on friday, and I really enjoyed it. It was well made and the acting was very impressive. Of course, it had it's flaws, but what doesn't?

Definitely a movie to check out. A lot more sentimental and emotional than I expected.

It's not just a guys movie either. My girlfriend liked it too.

Yeah I saw it as well and also enjoyed it for the most part. Tony's style gets a bit redundant after a while and it runs a little long but all in all entertaining, and my wife enjoyed it as well.



POSSIBLE SPOILER BELOW:



Was anyone else unhappy with the ending because they missed a golden opportunity for one more whoora? For those who have seen it, my dream ending goes like this.

It ends te same, in the car with what happened... happening BUT then... tilt down to pager watch "3.. 2... 1..." Blam!! They set up that he had more of the "ass bomb" materials. I do'nt know, it just would have been cool.

SPOILER AHEAD!!!!!



Good idea! That would have been the coolest possible ending for the movie. He dies, then 3 seconds later...ASS BOMB! Oh well.

wow. that WOULD have been freaking amazing. HOW COME THEY DIDN'T THINK OF THAT!

That would have made it ten times better! But I still liked the movie, so go see it as it is.

while an ass bomb would have rocked the casbah, I'm afraid I would have to disagree. Dying so that Pinta lived gave Crease a kind of redemption for killing all those people, not just in Mexico. By giving his life for hers, his soul is "cleansed". Of course, if he did have the ass bombs, he would have died while taking out the rest of the villains. I still loved that movie, the crazy editing didn't bother me a bit.

I guess the only thing about it would be that it would maybe take away some of the sentimentality. It's pretty sad and you feel really really bad. I'm sure they wanted you to feel that. If he blew everyone up, it wouldn't have the same emotional effect. So in that aspect, I guess the ending was justified.

don't read this if you haven't seen the movie.

yeah, i was thinking it was ass-bomb all the way. but when the agent guy takes care of "the voice" -- well i was happy with that.

as for tony's editing, i loved it. it was edgey and gritty and just cool. me gusta.
