We were up in D.C. yesterday and we saw it with Re's sister actually. I was surprised, it was pretty damned funny if you don't go in expecting a "smart" action film. It's just gobs and gobs of eye candy (including physically impossible stunts, such as starting up a helicopter and flying it away just before it crashes to the ground) and it was also one of the
loudest movies I've ever seen.
Highlights.... (spoilers?)
-Crispin Glover. I was glad to see that he was in this movie, though he didn't have enough screen time. He is, without a doubt, the best thing in the movie. Easily one of the coolest and most underrated actors on the planet. The guy is just completely insane and utterly hilarious. I hated that they killed him in the end, because him in a relationship with Drew would have been the best thing ever. :hairsniff
-Cameron Diaz. We were talkin about it yesterday, as much as you'd like to hate her, she's too good at what she does. She's like the female Jim Carrey if you ask me. Besides being pretty, she's a pretty versatile actress and she'll do pretty much anything. Check out the movies she's been in throughout her career, quite a wide variety (last supper, very bad things, being john malkovich, and head above water).
-Justin Theroux. He was the guy who played Seamus O'Grady in this movie, and I really liked his character. And goddamn, he got fucking RIPPED for this movie. Take the biggest muscle guy on earth and then put him right next to the pissed off Seamus O'Grady character and you'd be sure that Seamus would tear of his head. He was apparently in American Psycho too, but I don't remember his character. I'm guessing he was one of the suits. He's also been on Six Feet Under (one of my favorite shows) as the character "Joe" (?)
