And finally there seems to be 2 more movies in the works...:)

    Were you drunk? Looks like crap on a skewer. I guess I'll risk a rental on your rec... :(

    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Didn't like it. I thought the acting was mediocre at best, Cage was boring ("Next" was better), and the plot was predictable. Sam Elliot was alright and Eva Mendes is always fun to watch.

    I'll rent it, maybe.
    If...
    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    I liked it because it was a good workout for my system and it sounded really good especially when he rides that fancy hog.

    I was thinking about checking it out. It doesnt look too horrible. I just am NOT a Nick Cage fan by any means. Something about listening to a guy that sounds like he need to blow his nose talk for 2+ hours just isnt appealing to me.

    Not heard good things about this one!

    Didn't last very long in the theaters. Usually a bad sign.
