    It's very slow, then concludes quickly. At the end you leave asking yourself what the point of the film even was.

    But! Still oddly entertaining, and worth seeing just for the acting. Woody Harrelsons performance is the best I've ever seen from him, it was amazing.

    That's saying a lot. In a career of over the top roles, can you put this random film at the peak?

    Watched Homefront the other day. Maybe it was just because I was like "Jason Statham, action movie, gotta see it anyway" and then seeing the screenplay was by Stallone so any expectations I had dropped to 0, but I thought it was a rather good movie.

    Yup, I hate to overhype things but it really was the best performance I've seen from him, and I've seen the majority of his movies.

    Just got around to the new star trek and superman.
    Both pretty good movies, though I felt both endings with Kahn and Zod were a little on the anticlimactic side..

    I'll be honest. I didn't know Stallone wrote Rocky. When I saw his name, I figured it was him just trying his hand at screenwriting for the first time.

    In your defense, I think he also wrote the sequel to Saturday Night Fever that nearly cost John Travolta his entire career.

    Man of Tai Chi. Keannu's first movie as director I believe. Nothing special, but the story was neat and the kung fu was pretty cool.

    speaking of keanu reeve, his new ronin movie had really huge promotion/campaign in Japan, and when it opens, despite the huge promotions it bombed and nobody watched it.

    Because Japanese don't take too kindly to remaking a classical story

    I can think of at least four different remakes of Seven Samurai off the top of my head.

    47 Ronin isn't a first modern re-imagining obviously, but unlike Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, which never appeared on paper prior to being a movie, Ronin was told and retold before and reverberates with traditional Japanese minds more.

    The story of 47 Ronin didn't appear from playwrights until 40 or 50 years after the supposed events occurred due to censorship laws, so it's pretty safe to say the majority of it is fabricated to begin with.

    Maybe the Japanese just don't like horrible movies.
