I'll pass. I heard it was pretty weak.
Looked bad from the trailers. Will pass for sure.
Yeah, it was pretty average. It started good enough, but then it sort of dwindled on...
Also, this might be a strange comment, but it had way too many close-ups

Does Samuel L. Jackson actually read all of the script offers he gets anymore??
Artwork added...
Haven't even heard of this, was it granted a theatrical release? Sounds like a dtv effort.

He actually sends them to me for approval, and as long as there is a scene or two in which he gets to shout a few lines I more often than not advise him to sign on for the role.

It was in theaters but had a very limited run and very little publicity. Has decent performances but the story is pretty cliche and typical. Worth a rental at most.
Good art.
I heard good things, I don't think it bombed on rottentomatoes.
I must admit I am not a fan of these types of movies - they seem to come out every second week - and the trailer didn't look good either....
Revised artwork added...
I prefer the original still.
His face looks much more normal on the original, as opposed to the horizontal flip that they used for the revised artwork.
so they replaced a New york times quote for a Maxim Quote?
They were always going to go with the Maxim quote. Some newb must've gotten involved with the original artwork.
