Taken.

Welcome to the Jungle.

I've seen Taken, didn't really get on with it very well... It tried to be serious, and if you're going to break all the laws and walk away at the end, it needed to take itself much less seriously. You know what you're getting with Statham; he could walk onto a plane with a(n) RPG and it'd be perfectly acceptable because it'd fit within the preconceptions you have of that kind of film. I came away from Taken thinking "That's ridiculous", I came away from Safe thinking "That was amazing, he's so bad-ass!"

I will see what I can do to 'procure' the other films, thanks chaps

You appear to be getting us confused. Easily done, as we're both rakishly good looking spacepirates, but he's the massive girl's blouse who loves chick flicks. I like sci fi and guns.

This is unfair, I'm being mocked for being a sentimentalist.

I thought you shared his love of chick flicks... I do apologise

No! It isn't a massive live! More a "tjat was better than expected".

That's next on my list, Kern. I've just been to see Wolf of Wall Street, which smashes the Craster scale so heroically that I suspect a new scale needs to be invented.

Oh my. We're gonna need a bigger scale.

That was a fucking brilliant film. Everybody go see it.

As silly as it sounds, I don't want to see it because the lead guy in reality is a massive prick who screwed loads of people over and ripped them off and to this day still profits and is massively rich and just ignoring the massive debts he was court ordered to pay. Which I find annoying.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49237

Doesn't sound silly, and the film does a good job of making if clear that he's an outright prick.

I'd say the title makes a good start.

Yes indeed, Grim..., but I don't think we should be rewarding the chap who's "won" despite being a complete prick with a 2 hour long advert about how much he's "won".

I'd feel profoundly uncomfortbbale watching a film knowing that the guy it's about is probably sat there frotting off to it.

Curio, Russell disagrees with you.

I can't be arsed to google to find out which of you is right, so could you just have a shouty argument about it and I'll side with the winner.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16610

I haven't seen it myself yet but isn't it just supposed to be describing a character you'll love to hate? Like how Hannibal Lecter usually wins, I don't think those films made people more kindly disposed towards serial killers in general.

You should probably avoid Pain & Gain, too.

Although I guess he didn't win.

It's not that it is about a bad fictional person, and glorifying them, it's glorifying an actual person who did actual bad things and who is still rich as fuck and laughing at us all and profiting from breaking laws.

He also has a cameo in the movie, as the guy that introduces his own character (played by Leo obv.) at the end before he comes on stage.

Rotten Tomatoes has it at 50% fresh

Overall I'd say I'm interested enough to give it a try.

I'm still going to watch it.

The decider for me is what Kermode thinks, of course. He's like the Nirjhenenenenengenenege of film reviews.

"Now you see me"

An incredibly dumb film about magicians than perform heists during their shows. Even while being way too stupid it had some entertaining parts.

Kermode quite likes the new Robocop. So it's probably best to avoid it.

he twittered something about it being better than road to perdition, but then so's being stabbed in the face with Craster's arse.

He reviewed it on today's 5 live thing with Mayo, but I missed it.

Kermode tweeted about my arse in 2011? It was a good year, I suppose.
