Allan last night you and I went to a den
0:09
panta um I don't even remember den of
0:12
Thieves one yeah neither do I and it was
0:16
here's what's weird we're going to see a
0:17
movie neither of us care about we're not
0:20
looking forward to and
0:23
um it was like packed the screening was
0:27
packed we had trouble getting tickets
0:30
it's weird we saw the very first
0:31
screening at six o'clock this is a kind
0:35
of by the Numbers action movie that
0:39
features OA Jackson Jr is the star is
0:45
uh I mean he's very familiar um but
0:51
Gerard Butler in this movie looks like
0:54
he's channeling current day Russell
0:56
Crowe he's so bloated both of the actors
1:00
are like body positivity they're they're
1:05
shape at least none of the budget went
1:08
towards OIC because I'm just gonna flat
1:11
out say it Gerard Butler is Russell Crow
1:14
fat and so is the other lead and it's
1:17
actually distracting at time times
1:20
because they're doing these stunts okay
1:22
ger Butler plays a cop and O'Shea
1:25
Jackson is like a heist he's he's
1:28
leading up a heist and Gerard Butler
1:31
kind of endear him and and uh in and
1:34
gets gets involved right so he's the
1:40
um well there's they they team up for a
1:43
heist okay but Gerard Butler is has
1:46
other ulterior motives very simple plot
1:50
seen it before whatever but they're
1:53
doing these big stunts like jumping the
1:57
buildings I'm going there's one shot
1:59
where I'm like oh he is
2:02
fat and it was just dumb I
2:07
mean and and and and on top of it I mean
2:10
I want to hear what you think because we
2:12
did not really talk about it after we
2:14
were just sort of like uh we didn't even
2:17
do an out of the theater review which
2:19
you we normally do we didn't do it we're
2:21
just like whatever and um uh I just when
2:26
it was all over I'm like what was the
2:29
point it's two it's also 2 hours and 25
2:33
minutes why there's no reason this
2:36
shouldn't have been 90 minutes one thing
2:38
I did like I will compliment is the
2:42
director it feels very
2:45
European very European it's like a
2:47
foreign film right although there's the
2:50
one woman who's like supposed to be the
2:52
beautiful woman that's part of the team
2:56
and she is not attractive it was weird
2:59
it was was like they picked this woman
3:01
what happened to Bond girls
3:04
what what happen ex I kind of
3:08
like but exotic sexy European women this
3:13
movie didn't have it it was it was like
3:16
the casting director was like an alien
3:19
that didn't know what good-look humans
3:21
looked like and Gerard Butler God has he
3:25
let himself go he is let himself go
3:30
so um I this movie is I can't recommend
3:34
it in spite of the fact that I kind of
3:37
like the European feel there's nothing
3:40
woke about it by the way it's just a bad
3:43
action movie but my God uh I just felt
3:48
like after we walked out I was just like
3:52
whatever uh what are your thoughts Allan
3:54
yeah first of all the writer director is
3:56
American uh it had a European feel I
3:59
mean it's it's not it's not in France
4:05
um yeah the two and a half hours long it
4:08
needed to be cut by an hour uh
4:11
there basically there's
4:14
a there's an action scene in the
4:17
beginning that kind of sets up the heist
4:19
that's going to occur uh then you have
4:21
the heist and then a car chase that's
4:23
pretty much uh you know if you just cut
4:26
everything out other than those three
4:27
things you you probably have a good time
4:30
um it's a lowbudget heist meaning you
4:33
know there's not millions of dollars
4:35
that millions of Hollywood dollars and
4:37
Hollywood special effects that you can
4:39
apply to it so it's a fairly uh
4:42
lowbudget Indie Heist movie which I I
4:45
appreciated uh the one moment that that
4:48
really piqu my interest was uh they
4:51
began they they talk about their past
4:54
and they talked about uh going to a
4:55
Marie Calendars at the D Mall which I've
5:00
then they started describing a couple
5:02
restaurants in the Torrance area and
5:04
it's like oh I know where those are that
5:07
was kind of cool um but uh you know not
5:10
having not having any memory or
5:13
knowledge of the first one um you know
5:16
it's just like it was okay uh my biggest
5:20
issue was in the first act because there
5:22
is a lot of just drama a lot of people
5:27
talking and uh stuff happening that's
5:30
not action or exciting um it goes on for
5:34
a very long time until the actual Heist
5:37
um so that's why I'm saying it could
5:39
have easily been cut down to 90 minutes
5:41
you just need to get to the action a lot
5:43
faster and it doesn't um you know
5:46
there's you know the Rapport between
5:48
Gerard Butler and um and o'sa Jackson is
5:51
is okay um I'm I think I'm not going to
5:57
not recommend it but I'll give it a bare
5:59
recommendation because there's nothing
6:01
else there's nothing else this weekend
6:03
actually there is some cool stuff this
6:06
weekend but in terms of new movies um I
6:08
mean look you'll you'll have a
6:11
moderately good time watching this and
6:14
that's what I did well I can't recommend
6:16
it and every scene went on too long
6:20
every single scene went too long you're
6:22
like oh my God you could cut the scene
6:24
in half and not lose the information you
6:26
need in the scene we got the info and
6:29
they just they wax on and on about like
6:34
what it was pointless it was pointless
6:38
yeah cannot recomend this movie just the
6:40
fact that I've been to those restaurants
6:42
uh is the only reason I found it
6:44
interesting that's not enough for me so
6:46
a a big old pass for me and um I don't I
6:50
don't prescribe uh OIC but the two leads
6:55
lead I've never seen this I've never
6:57
seen this in a movie where the two
7:00
actors you're supposed to look up to are
7:05
look bad they look bad yeah Gerard
7:08
Butler Gerard Butler is bloated like
7:11
Russell Crow it's sad to see yeah Liam
7:14
niss keeps himself in shape you can
7:18
too yeah yeah if I can do it you can do
7:22
it Gard Butler by the way o'sa Jackson
7:25
is the oldest son of Ice Cube and played
7:27
Ice Cube in Straight Out of Compton yeah
7:29
that's where I knew him yeah so and
7:39
disagree strong non recommendation from
7:42
me so this is your Amelia
