All the pieces are here to make a good movie, but The American lacks any real entertainment value.
Thriller
Machete
Danny Trejo finally has a starring vehicle, and its a beautiful mess of blood, action, hot girls, and fun that never slows down long enough to lose its way.
The Girl Who Played With Fire
Alfredson’s effort is too disjointed and just doesn’t give enough shared screentime to the charismatic leads to get even close to the awesome The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Shame.
The Last Exorcism
Not necessarily SCARY horror, The Last Exorcism is more subtle and character-driven than you might think, which is a good thing, but it loses its way and squanders its potential.
Takers
Theres really nothing here to like, and for all its stars and all its ambition, its pretty much just dull.
The Expendables
Read all about it – Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren in poor acting shocker! As was always going to be the case, bags of testosterone filled action rescues The Expendables from being plain awful and makes it a fun watch instead.
