Still, this is hands down the best film I've personally seen this summer. With this movie being directed by Frank Oz, I thought "well that's a bit weird" when I saw the credit, but nonetheless Frank did an excellent job on everything. Technically speaking this film looked great. Not "Moulin Rouge" great, but very well done technically. The film is in scope and I screened it in SRD. Despite the fact that the majority of the movie is only dialogue, the audio was extremely well mixed. The only thing I was not impressed with technically was the image registration of the print. The projector it was ran on is about as close to perfect as registration goes and the trailers were rock solid, but when the attached trailer and feature hit the screen, there was noticeable bob and weave. It was a Deluxe Hollywood print. Oh well, don't let that stop you from seeing this one!

It looks like another one of those movies where the "hero" is going on one last job, the last one of his career and then he's out. Of course there is the woman there to tell him to "quit now". Of course this "last job" turns out to be way more than he bargained for. Haven't I seen this movie before a billion times? Looks very run of the mill. Bad advertising?

No, it's only been done 999,999,962 times Joe. There's a few dozen more to be made with the same premise before you can say that. Still, how many of those movies with the same overall premise SUCK? Quite a lot of them if you ask me. Could this one have been better? Yes. Could it have been worse? Oh God yes! Comparing this movie to all of the other shit that has been released this summer, is it one of the most entertaining films as of late? You bet! I'd watch it again, and that is one of only two movies this year that I would bother with for a second round. (Enemy at the Gates being the other one.)

Hmmmmm, wait a minute...both of those were Paramount! Do I see a pattern here? Oh wait, they released Crocodile Dundee III. Guess I was mistaken.
