Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
justinm-160-831648 I say apparently, because the quote was so grossly wrong, I couldnt trait a studio that did that to produce a good movie. So I stopped. Watching and having checked this site, I was spot on. an idiot would have been able to spot that it was wrong, yet the studio put it through and it was supposed to define the movie. The quote," there can not be good without evil. Everything in existence must co-exist in a sort of balance or symmetry. St Augustine"sort of,....SORT OF, what 430 AD philosophical writers did they think uses the words sort off. If you going to be making up crap, at least do a good job and don't ask you 12 year old to make up a quote for you. St Augustine actually said that Good can exist without evil, and that evil can not exist without good. As evil us a defect in good and that defect and that defect only is evil. Completely different from the drivel they expounded on
dot9000 I simply cannot put into words how absolutely, positively horrible this movie is. The acting is utterly laughable (and I don't mean in a cute, spoofy way), the scenes unbelievable and every other word is a swear. Police that can't contain a crime scene or shoot, robbers that don't rob and many hacked together scenes, all thrown in as if it was a pot of chicken soup and would somehow magically all turn out lovely and delicious in the end. It's too bad, this pot is full of inedible garbage that even the toughest iron gut would spew out immediately. I wondered if Danny Glover owed someone a favor and that's why he did this film. It's the only reason that makes any sense. Unfortunately, even he can't save this stinky bomb. Please don't waste your time on this one - it is truly too bad to describe.
logopolis Einstein once said "God doesn't play dice", here God (Danny Glover ) plays chess with pure evil Lu (Vinnie Jones ) for the soul of a wayward priest (Sean Astin). Their chess board is projected into the real world as a neighborhood bank under siege. The chess pieces are projected into the real world as bank robbers (black) and bank customers (white). Pieces are moved and people perform actions. Pieces are captured and people die. Not a great movie but I'd give it a good C+. Lenses and sound are good, directing and cinematography are good. Dialogue and acting fair. I watched it, I liked it. I would have enjoyed it more if I had understood the purpose of the contest earlier.
elavigne7885 Danny Glover, a good actor, many fine performances in the past, must be in need of money to associate his name with this piece of trash. I am sure this film will never be shown in any cinema, in any European country, the United States, Canada, Australia, etc. This is one of those films, here today,gone tomorrow, forget it ever existed. If this film is released on DVD, in your neighbourhood, avoid it like the plague. So far all the reviews, I have read, before my review, have stated similar reviews. Danny Glover, true, their may not be too many roles out in the film industry for you to star in, but do not perform in these type of films.
