Spoilers ahead for Law Abiding Citizen and Repo Men enkiduts August 5 2010, 15:31:46 UTC
Yes, I saw it, but I went into it knowing that it wasn't your typical poor victim of slaughtered family movie, and that Gerard was playing a character different from past performances. I rented it first, then I did buy a copy--I picked up several of Gerry's films at a 4 DVDs for 20 bucks sale. I probably would not have paid any more than that for it, I admit ( ... )

Thanks so much Lisa for your opinion on this. OF COURSE Gerry played that character well! It showed how good he is as an actor! I do not deny that. But I gotta admit, even though I don't like the romantic comedies either, I do like my character to be the good guy. It happens with all my favourite actors.

Gary Oldman too. He has played so many villians, that it is hard to find him play a good guy.

I will not buy everything either anymore. This one did teach me a lesson. I will be careful of Repo Men then as well ;) Thanks for the warning but you made me curious.

Next for Gerry will be Gamer...pssst don't say anything if you already saw it.

Never see it, and based on what you say, I never will. I don't really like the actor to begin with :)
I thought of you yesterday, when I brought the movie Zodiac ;-)))) I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure I'm going to think of you and what you could do with some caps of the movie when he's on screen ;-))

You've never seen Zodiac ? I love that movie, but I saw it for Jake Gyllenhaal, not for RDJ (who was also great).

I've never seen your other movie Del so I can't comment, I'm just sorry for you that you didn't enjoy it.

Hey Dear! Well, this happens from time to time, when you are determined to see everything from your favourite actors. I am sure you know that feeling!

Since you like Jake G. Have you seen Prince of Persia? The trailer reminded me of LOTR. Was it good?

Nope, I'll see it on DVD but from what I've heard, LotR is far better, not even really in the same league ;)

I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy Jake's smile and abs, though ;D

This movie started out so promising . . . I was looking forward to seeing how the GB character would make his point, make an impact on the JF character. I was hoping for some psychological impact, not just an over-the-top mess of explosions and willy-nilly destruction.

I was disappointed (to say the least).

WOW you really seem to watch a lot of movies yourself :D Glad there is someone I can discuss them with :D

I understood the meaning of the butchering of the murderer. I also saw the point why he killed that guy in the hole, seeing the point of being punctual etc. But when he just killed that guy in his cell, just like that, because he wanted to get into the isolation cell, I actually didn't really want to watch it anymore. I kept thinking he'd kill the lawyer's wife and girl. I am so glad he didn't!
