initial expectations |
(3) The previews showed promise of delivering good comedy. And I wanted to see Renee Zellweger in her first lead role. |
(3) A seemingly twisted bizzarre "love?" triangle... killers go after nurse who goes after a doctor actor... seems interesting enough. |
pace |
(2) This movie dragged on and on. I know they're into character development and all, but geez, we didn't pay to fall asleep! |
(2) This movie seems to drag on like a nurse taking my blood, which, if you can't tell, I hate... a lot... |
plot/story |
(2) Like I said, the previews showed promise. The plot was original enough but throughout the course of the movie, it just got plain ridiculous. Talk about trying too hard! The trailer was really misleading! |
(3) The story was interesting enough, however, the slow pacing, whether it be due to the cinematography or script or whatever, just kills the movie. |
cast/acting |
(3) They all held their own. Although Chris Rock was plain irritating! |
(3) Nothing outstanding and nothing terrible. Chris Rock did get really annoying after a while! |
good stuff |
(3) Well, if you like blood, gore, and primitive sex, then you'll like the goods that this movie delivers.
|
(2) If a traditional tomahawk chop, err... scalping... does it for you... well... it didn't do it for me. |
overall |
(2) It's a dragged-out, washed-out movie. Wait for the video. Maybe it'll be worth seeing then. |
(2) You don't need to go rushing to the theaters for this one... just wait for the video, and we'll have saved youa couple $$$. =) |
