    God wouldn't ya love to just go fuc*ing mental one day.

    That actually looks like a decent movie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 800 ✭✭✭a fat guy


    Any idea when it's out over here? It said 11th May in the trailer, but I'd assume that that only applies to America.

    Falling down for the 21st century. Looks interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 388 ✭✭spatchco


    saw it slow in parts but watchable,though it was more in the Death Wish type


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    I'll watch that movie when it's on TV for free, but I don't think it would be worth paying for a cinema ticket to see it. Looks like a good laugh.:)

    That "God bless America" mantra that they're always spouting reminds me of what David Norris said after Bush won the presidential election for the first time in 2004:;)

    "When Bush says 'God bless America', I say 'God help the Americans', for they have chosen Barabbas, and on their heads be it!":rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Looks like something I'd enjoy immensely, I'll be paying to see this.

    Don't take it too seriously...

    Also, American Pop Culture is extremely inane. There are people out there now making sex tapes trying to Paris Hilton their way into fame...Lawrence Fishburnes daughter did it...tape is just bad though.

    Movie looks good, but overdue I guess we are a niche market was considering spending my summer vacation falling down but that can wait


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭James Forde


    It's certainly no falling down.

    But definitely watchable, even if his side kick girl is irritating beyond comprehension.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,080 ✭✭✭✭Big Nasty


    Looks great! Especially the bit at the end when they're shooting the pop idol or whatever people. AND they're driving a Camaro! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    It's "out" already....cof cof cof cof cof. But yeah written by Bobcat Goldthwait. Only realised recently that it was Zed from Police Academy! His new stand up stuff is pretty funny. (Since he's lost the growly ADHD-like persona).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    like movie for the Man Flu stable but with a little girl as the protagonist didn't take her weary little head long to realize it is beyond democracy, already or maybe only attaining it now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    Saw it fairly recently, was an excellent watch. Also watched 'Super' which has a lot in common with it and is a superior film overall. Both films that i'd highly recommend watching.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭Scioch


    Looked promising until the little girl side kick showed up. Probably gonna give this one a miss, looks rather shíte. Why cant people make movies without a murderous child or talking dog anymore ? Why does there always have to be some gimmick involved ?

    Nice story about a man on the edge losing it and taking a few fcukers out would be grand but nope. Ya need it to be so over the top its like a game. Add in a child doing the killing to market it to young people. And give it a taste of the oh so trendy "I hate mainstream" (seems to be the mainstream view now) and you have yourself a hit.

    also drop a little girl I there as some dangerous man's cohort n portray it like they might be partners in general, brings all the pedo niche to teh yard It's a bit like leon


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    Think I'll watch it tonight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23


    Saw it a few weeks ago-good, and certainly strikes a topical chord. And the lead is a genuinley decent guy, pushed too far by the many many assholes in the world.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Looks like a high body count in the movie .

    .. still sceptical. does she toss grenades over her shoulder and not bother to look at the explosion or should I opt for mad mel's summer outing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,221 ✭✭✭Greentopia


    Worth a look I'd say but I would have preferred a more serious treatment of the subject. Looks too cartoon violent.
