    Cowboy Curtis vs The Punisher. I'll pass....

    J/k. This looks like a straight to Netflix movie. I sure as Hell wouldn't watch it a theater, but if I'm bored and it's streaming on Netflix, I'll probably give it a chance.

    Damn sure doesn't look great, but looks like it's just entertaining enough for one viewing on Netflix.

    Ummmm, I highly highly doubt that. The Negotiator was a great movie (really underrated actually). You had two ELITE actors in Spacey, and Jackson.

    Thomas Jane, and Cowboy Curtis couldn't shine Spacey and Jackson's shoes.

    :bs: No, trailers are not supposed to give you the whole damn plot, just the premise. And from this trailer we can deduct it will be the girl the one that shoots down the baddie. :tick:

    Fishburn has always been a very solid actor, but this movie looks pretty ordinary.

    Standoff

    I think there was previously a thread on this movie but I couldn't find it. It stars Larry Fishburne and Thomas Jane. Fishburne plays a hitman who commits a multiple murder, some little girl sees him and takes pics of his face, he catches her taking pics and tries to track her down to kill her so she can't identify him. She runs into the house of Thomas Jane who's ex-military and now a drunk, and a standoff ensues between Fishburne trying to kill her and Jane trying to protect her.

    Surprisingly enough, it was actually a DAMN GOOD movie! A lot better than I expected it to be. I thought it'd be somewhat decent best case, and shitty worst case. But it turned out to be excellent. Great plot, nice character development, and great acting from Fishburne and Jane. Plus a nice and ironic twist in the final scene. Highly recommend it. It's on Netflix.

    8/10

    I merged it for you. But as much shit as you talked about this movie, I wouldn't have looked for it either.

    Yeah, I was very pleasantly surprised. Was expecting a mediocre movie. It's damn good.
