I've just finished the movie and i have to say its a crap. IMHO 4/10 max.
I'll pass this Steelbook except the artwork will be stunning

It got really bad reviews, but anyone here see the film and like it?

I remember being interested after seeing the previews, but wasn't sure what to think given the feedback online.

Might get this depending on the cover art.

 

[Skillednutter]

yep, just pre-ordered at £16

 

[karl01]

I wouldn`t part with my money for this film it was utter shite

Karl. 5.4 on IMDB that says it all. Can't believe this is getting the steelbook treatment!

I smell desperation

 

[Skillednutter]

surely 5.4 = average. I love loads of average movies! If the art work is pants I will cancel.

 

[townterrier]

Pass. Never heard of it.

Me too, very steep for a blind buy.....

 

[dvdjunkie]

Just ordered - came up as £16 too!

I would suggest people get their orders in incase it is amended to £18 as others have been in the past.

Happy days.

With the ammount of steelbooks being released i can`t buy average movies on a steel and its worst than average its terrible i would say hire before buying

 

[Dino Last]

Easy, easy pass. My wallet thank's you HMV.

 

[DK06CTR]

Ordered and was £16 woohoo

I saw it while it was in theaters and thought it was enjoyable. Definitely not as bad as some people say. But than again, at that point I was looking to watch something a little lighter after I saw that pseudo deep, giant steaming pile called 'Prometheus'.

 

[dirtyoak]

PASS.

 

[dvdjunkie]

Just to update guys this is now listed at £16 but knowing HMV it it likely to rise a few quid.

I know a lot of people are saying they are passing on this as it was a 'crap' film but how many other steels have we said this about only to order it once the artwork has been released? I for one have pre-ordered and will await judgement until I see the artwork. I didn't get to see it in the cinema when I wanted to so still might go ahead with it.

Just a thought though. Each to their own as they say.

 

[thedefector]

Thanks dvdjunkie, price adjusted in OP. Think they'll have to pull something really special out of the hat in terms of artwork for this one if they want to shift more than just a few copies judging by the response of most contributors to this thread toward the actual movie itself.

 

[DJHilalo]

I'm in two minds about this so I will await further info on the artwork before I commit.

 

[hayemaker]

It's a strange HMV exclusive in the same way Rampart was. Mediocre film with not much of a following, but it will probably end up going OOS quickly like Rampart. Still won't be getting this one though.

FYI guys

Here is the pic of the steelbook now up on the HMV website :0)
