Yeah the one coming up with Dwayne Johnson. Looks action packed. Think it's gonna be any good?

RP 11-13-2010 05:27 PM

He makes good action flicks. I might check it out on a Friday night or something.

Do you smell what Mr. Eko is prophesying?

Jura 11-16-2010 11:48 AM

Well its no Tooth Fairy or any of the Disney movies he's made and it's The Rock so it should be a good, entertaining movie at the very least.

Faster, starring The Rock (The Official Tb1/The Fraze date night thread)
 
Tb1 and The Fraze are sitting in the theater about to watch The Rock check candy asses into the Smackdown Hotel.

Tb1/The Fraze gave each other handjobs in the theater.

Sixx 11-25-2010 06:06 AM

Did you use the old hole in the popcorn trick?

The Fraze 11-25-2010 06:18 AM

Exactly, since The Fraze's cock is so small, the only cock that needed to be concealed via the popcorn bag was Tb1's.

The movie was awesome. I'm a mark for The Rock, though. It presented the audience with a moral dilemma which we thought was cool. But Tb1 would have to give you a more unbiased opinion.

What Would Kevin Do? 11-25-2010 11:05 PM

This movie had decent writing for the characters (development, etc), but horrible writing for the story.

It's essentially a revenge/tragedy story, without the much needed revenge/tragedy ending.

The Fraze 11-26-2010 12:34 AM

Fairly certain that everyone will know it's a revenge/tragedy story upon seeing it.

That's not the problem, the problem is, the ending is awful and doesn't fit the movie.


SPOILER: show
One key element in almost all revenge movies is that revenge doesn't work. It doesn't lead to happiness, it doesn't make you feel better, and half the time, the person seeking revenge dies. In this movie though, Driver gets his revenge, dumps his brother's ashes, and just rides off into the sunset. It's pretty much "revenge is good, I did what I wanted to do, and I'm happy now." It's just a really empty ending. I get the feeling the writer was like, "Well, Driver is too cool to kill, and "Killer" is too cool to kill, so we'll just let them both live. Oh, Plus, we'll let the villain save face and get a heroes death too. " Come on.

The much better ending would have been Killer coming back and killing Driver after Driver kills Cop. Then Killer could pull the dollar out of Cop's pocket and walk away. Much more satisfying ending for the movie, especially since it fits with the theme. They probably didn't want to do that though because KIller was meant to be liked too.

Honestly, the best part of the movie was the Yin and Yang that Driver and Killer are too each other, and the movie would have been 100% better if they interacted more.

The Fraze 11-26-2010 02:54 PM

I see what you're saying. It seems a bit like it glorifies revenge and if you seek revenge you'll be happy. But I liked that, because it was different. And I'm a Rock mark.

The Fraze 11-26-2010 02:54 PM

But I also think that it leaves the audience with the same moral dilemma when it's over. Was it really the right thing to do...?

The Fraze 11-26-2010 09:59 PM

So...the threads have been merged? Mine was supposed to be the Tb1/Fraze date night thread, ass.

D Mac 11-28-2010 10:34 PM

Saw it and it's pretty good. But I'd wait if you haven't seen it for the DVD or Blu Ray.

The Fraze 11-29-2010 12:09 AM

Smackdown hotel.

I agree, that's a good scene....

I didn't like this movie at all.

I didn't care about Billy Bob Thornton's personal life storyline. Or the other guy named Killer. He's getting married and all? Good for him. I have complete envy that he's marrying Maggie Grace, but his storyline didn't fit into the FASTER story at all.

By going around from place to place and shooting people once in the head isn't an action flick and doesn't make it exciting. If they focused a WHOLE lot more on The Rock/Dwayne and his revenge story rather than FILLER that I don't care about, the movie would have been great.

RP 03-16-2011 10:30 AM

Horrible movie. First of all, Thornton should give his paycheck back cause he didn't even try. Second, what was the point of having the hitman in the movie? Made no sense. They just added him for no reason.

And Rock was definetly jacked on the juice.
