    Wow

    I wasn't prepared for this. It was hilarious on so many levels. The racial humor was in your face and I was sniffing oscar until its unrealistic and predictable end.

    Jackson is a bigtime jerk. The others in forgettable roles. A good date movie. Reallly stretched the pg-13 rating it recieved.

    Leaving Lakeview Terrace ....

    My husband (44) & I (41) went to see this movie this friday afternoon as the original movie pick, Appaloosa is in limited theaters, none near us. We overheard some people come out of the first show calling it a snoozer, but we pressed on. Popcorn & soda in hand, we found seats and prepared ourselves. The movie does tend to have a slow story, never really having any suspense. It was rather predictable in the storyline down to the final scenes. It almost seemed as I was watching a two hour movie on tv. The violence was pretty tame, as was the language, and sexuality. Any CSI on tv is comparable. It was entertaining enough for an afternoon treat, but if you are on a budget, place your movie dollars elsewhere. You will most likely be disappointed in paying theater costs for this movie.

    I fell for the trailer and the concept of the movie. About half way through I was just starting to get bored and I was worried that it would fall flat like Righteous Kill. But then it started to pick up. To the end it got better and better. Great ending. I was with a group and we all rated it on a 6 - 8 on a 10 point scale.

    Go see it, you have nothing better to do!
