That is limited release with VOD same day. Only wide release is Tyler Perry's Single Mom's Club. It has a daytime soap actor, maybe I rent it. I can watch rom-com's, I threw out man card ages ago.

Saw a pre-screening, didn't get any embargo or anything.

It's well shot. The car sequences and stunts are well done, the story is goofy as hell though. I mean, it's a watchable movie, but it's weird because it tries to be grand and dramatic, but the material is kinda silly.

Of course there's no embargo. Dreamworks wants word of mouth to be good, already had like 100 sneak preview screenings.

 

[Liam_H]

Kind of pointless to embargo a screening two days away from release, if you're gonna do that might as well not even screen it.

 

[TheVileOne]

Liam, I saw the movie over a week ago. Also, Disney is still handling the distribution of all Dreamworks live action.

 

[Darkness Falls]

not really a car guy but i really loved the cars/driving in this
aaron paul was great in it as i expected and had really good chemistry with the other actors, really liked all the references to the games and keaton was pretty over the top, his voice reminded me of a beatnik beetlejuice but it was great

8/10

I can't believe how badly this is being slaughtered by critics, I can't find one redeeming review of this thing.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

My review of it was actually pretty positive lol

 

[Kane52630]

Same here, it's a fun movie through and through. It's a movie I do see critics hating for dumb reasons but if you love car chases, you are definitely gonna love this.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

My thing was I loved the ending. And Dominic coopers performance. He took a flat villain had made it a 3-dimensional character. Just watch his face while he par takes in his next-level *****ebaggery...you see him making the decisions and regretting them almost immediately, but he's dug himself too deep. Or maybe I'm looking too much into it. Still really liked the ending though.

Yeah the ending was great, I just wish [BLACKOUT]Aaron Paul had said "This is for Pete...Bi***! when he knocked him out. That would've been perfect. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[Kane52630]

Just nudity? No brief nudity?

Awww, ****.

Imogen Poots...

Spoiler

I guess I was wrong.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

What I loved about the ending [BLACKOUT]aside from the twist with what car he drove at the race (great thematic irony) was that wrong Paul actually went back to jail lol thought out the whole movie with all the sh** he pulls I was like yeah! this guy needs to do time, how many accidents did he just cause lmao [/BLACKOUT]

 

[terry78]

I guess they kind of wanted to subvert that whole thing about characters who usually are karma houdinis in these films.

 

[TheVileOne]

This is a PG-13 movie. The only nudity is from a male character in the main character's crew.

 

[MiffaLadd_]

I really enjoyed it, which is good considering I sat in the cinema for about 40 minutes before it started cos of some technical problem.

It was just cool. The cars and stunts were cool and Aaron Paul is cool.

Spoiler

I think it was fairly clear early on that the kid was doomed. The moment he talks about visions, he's dead; though the vision would then of course come true.

Yeah but look at the reviews.

 

[enterthemadness]

Yeah but look at the reviews.

Ummmmm....Ride Along is only 17% fresh and did well over $100M.....so, haha.



AT 9:10 I AM SEEING THIS OH GOD YES.

 

[TheVileOne]

You were the one talking about word of mouth, not tomato meters.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

He also missed how hot Kevin Hart is right now. Reviews don't matter for his films.

 

[Symbiotic]

I enjoyed it. There's no substitute for F&F, but this is decent. Certainly not 23% rotten material.

 

[Asr]

Who cares what the critics think anyway. That's why I come here, to find out what like-minded Hypesters think.

x forever. I couldn't go, sadly only have one ****ing head light working and usually there's police out near the area to theater.

 

[jacobed]

Screw critics this movie is a blast
