Review

I want to kick myself for waiting so long to finally watch this.  What the hell was I thinking?  I am going to be extremely careful in this review, as not to give anything away, because it just has to be seen.

Richard Gere does a phenomenal job in the role of John Klein.  He is great in the suspenseful scenes, always building up the tension with his jittery performance.  The Directing in the movie is amazing as well, lots of pleasing optical effects, and transition blends make for a great movie.

I'm not really going to say too much else on this movie, except this final statement: Go and see it!

Gore

None, but none is really needed, although we do get a tiny bit of blood, and some blood shot eyes.

The Goodies

So what have we learned today?

Body Count:

38

  • The universe hates happy people.

Nudity

Nothing really, it's rated PG-13, but we do get a glimpse through foggy shower glass.  And Richard Gere prances around for the first ten minutes of the movie with his ten incher hanging out....NOT!

Arsenal

Moth like speed and reflexes.

So, do you  disagree with my thoughts on this movie? Do you feel that justice must be served? Well then,  Write Your Own Damn Review!!
