Quote from: Antares on June 20, 2010, 04:10:44 AMJust finished Fight Club. I absolutely, freakin' loved the first hour. This film had such potential, and then it was like someone pulled the plug in the tub. (click to show/hide)Everything that was creative and fresh in the first hour was replaced with a ridiculous underlying story about an army of Durden clones and a split personality. Suddenly, all coherency in the screenplay was gone. It was if the screenwriter couldn't figure out how to keep it on track and sold out.Too bad, if it had stayed on course, this could have easily cracked my top 10 of all time. 3/5 I hope you don't mind if I suggest the use of the spoiler tag...? You are really giving away a major plot point there.

Quality choices! Have you ventured into the British crime thriller before, Antares?
I don't do remakes.
Quote from: Antares on July 20, 2010, 06:47:40 PMI don't do remakes. Not even if they improve on the original...? (Unfortunately they do too few remakes of "bad films with potential", so they arely have a chance to actually improve )*sigh* Sexy Beast, another one on the Wish List.

Surely you prefer The Magnificent Seven to that obscure Japanese rubbish?
