    Run All Night and Walk Among the Tombstones were alright. The latter was well done but just so incredibly bleak and brutal to watch.

    Run All Night was decent although I had a tough time buying Common as this Terminator-esque assassin.

    The Taken series was indeed action fluff. The first was very entertaining IMO though, and I also have a thing for Holly Valance (the singer). By the 3rd movie, it was clear that Liam Neeson is too old for this. Watching him run was amusing, although he still runs better than Steven Seagal.

    Just saw it. Had high expectations, was let down somewhat. The scenery delivered, and the action was captivating. But I felt the emotion was way too pushed for much of the movie. Just tell the story and we can put it together. The drawn out starry-eyed flashback scenes didn't add shit except time. Also, I found the similarities with Ravenous went ALOT further than just a similar sounding name. Almost to the point where I felt the director saw it and copied alot of the shit that went on in it.

    7/10
    Worth seeing regardless of the emo.

    Also, I dont see the Fitzgerald as anything other than evil. He had alot of options to preserve himself that didnt involve a multitude of murders.

    Word. Fitzgerald was just evil with no redeeming qualities and the film was boring crap.

    One of the most overrated films in history.

    In terms of frozen wilderness survival stories " The Grey" was ten times better.
