Red Eye + Four Brothers Review
« on: August 12, 2005, 05:54:00 PM »

This week I had the option of seeing either The Skeleton Key or Red Eye on tuesday. Wednesday i had the option of seeing either Four Brothers or Grizzy Man.


So on tuesday i saw Red Eye, and well Wes Craven didn't disapoint me too much. It was alot better than Cursed. Although Red Eye is only rated PG13. Red Eye has a lot of "cool" scenes but the overall story sucks, the story relies to much on the main character. Its as they came up with 5 or 6 really cool ideas and just came up a with a story around that. Overall don't pay all $$ to see it in theater go rent it.

+
Good actors
good ideas

-
bad story
PG13

=
Worth a rent

On wednesday i saw Four Brothers. Wow! this movie was awesome, defiantly a guy movie. It has everything, car chase, killing, stealing, killing, guns, big guns. Now it does have some flaws, but overall I was very happy i saw it.  I really liked that Terrence Howard was in this film, (you can see him in Crash and Hustle and Flow) <= very good actor. Go see this!

+
Guns, killing
rated R


-
unexplanable solutions to problems.
no nudity

?
John Singleton made something good again

=
Go see this in theaters.



Next tuesday I have 40yr Old Virgin so look for my Review.

Thanks for the review of Four Brothers... it looked like total shit to me on the previews, but now I might get my bud at the theater to take me.

Just watched Red Eye, and I really want the 75 minutes back, one of the worst films I've seen - normally I enjoy even crappy films, but this one just never got going.

red eye was just a shitty story... theres is ABS no way to make a good movie out of a story that bad... Cillian Murphy was really good in it, though the character was a bit shit at times...
