If you like the style of Quentin Tarantino, you will love the style of Damian Neiman. As a Tarantino fan myself, I was pleasantly surprised at Damian's film-making and wonderful scriptwriting. I had the privilege to attend the screening of the movie at the Philadelphia Film Festival and meet the actors and producers behind it all, plus I met many other wonderful people whom I hope to continue a friendship with in the years to come. Damian, Shawn, Joe, Carl, Michelle, Sara, and of course, Stuart Townsend, were all very gracious and wonderful people and even though I had just met them all, I felt as if I've known them for years. We had a wonderful time in Philadelphia and Atlantic City and hope to do it all over again in Miami. Back to the movie, lots of twists and turns, once you think you have it figured out, it takes you for a wild ride of unexpected plot turns and it keeps you on your toes. It has everything, suspense, romance, action, comedy, drama. Sylvester Stallone is a classic, Melanie Griffith was very smooth, Gabriel Byrne delivers a flooring performance (as usual), Jamie Foxx is absolutely hilarious and witty, Thandie Newton couldn't have been lovelier and cunning, and of course, Stuart Townsend,as usual again, delivers a flawless performance, perfect in every sense, from the smoothness of his character to the card tricks he did learn to do for the film. If you get the chance to watch this movie, head out and do so, you will not be disappointed. I give it two thumbs up, and if I had three thumbs, I would give it three. :-) Liz |
