What
our panel of critics thought |
"Expertly
lit... nice driving. I had braced myself for the return of Spandau
Ballet, I needn't have worried. Not a pink suit, or an 'uh
u u ua aahh aa' anywhere. Phew!"
"Colin
Farrell is one of the few actors today who can punch without ruffling
his expensive jacket whilst Duran Duran plays in the background.
A perfect choice for the role..."
"All
I can say is that I would not like to inspect either of their underpants
after all this excitement. Skid marks the size of a Snicker Bar
I would suggest."
"This
is a post UFC treat of a movie. No flying clotheslines off the top
rope, or 'tell him ref', anywhere."
"Fast
cars, fast boats, popping down to Cuba for the evening, getting
the chance to blow up white supremacists, these are just a few of
the thrills in store in this dark and yet well lit movie."
"A
slow burning fashion conscious treat without any of the dangers
of a Duran Duran concert."
"Action
packed, adrenaline filled, super macho fare. Don't bother with the
popcorn, you will throw it over your shoulder within five minutes
through excitement."
"So
this is how my drugs are delivered? How exciting!"
|
Please
tell me the ending |
| Crocket
and Tubbs both die in a firefight... only kidding folks! No they don't
die: although Tubbs' female partner was in a coma by the end of proceedings. |
