The Immortals Reviews: Don't bother  2008-11-05 - Improbable characters in stupid situations trying to steal money.
Lots of shooting but the characters refuse to die and end the movie.
what is this  2007-12-17 - I was comfounded by this movie. is it a comedy, actioner,feelgooder.? whatever it was trying to achieve it missed the mark. The movie is about a bunch of criminals who convene by the order of a mastermind (Eric Roberts) to pull robberies across the city to test their mettle and competence for ripping off the head of a mafia crime family(Tony Curtis). The problem I had with this is that all the characters appear so stupid you wonder how they could be career criminals in the first place. Their zany stupidity takes away from the film for it to be a decent actioner. and as far as the comic aspect, it works to hard to be funny to be actually funny!! it provokes no reactions within you,this movie is stale,it doesn't keep your attention. As far as the performances are concerned they are uninspired you get the feeling that this was just a job for these actors. I bought this movie to see Tia Carrere,but in this movie she's neither striking nor convincing,all these actors appear to be walking through their parts. I recommend you save your money on this film.
It's a concrete blonde  2005-09-28 - Ten years ago when it first came out, I saw this film and loved it! Then I forgot the name of the film and no one that I ever asked knew what the heck movie I was talking about. But it always stood out in the forefront of my memory as being a great film. I had forgotten the name of the movie for TEN YEARS and have actually researched for the past few weeks until I re-discovered it, if that tells you anything about how well I liked it. I only gave it four stars because I have not yet viewed it, again. Kieran Mulroney gives a very moving and convincing performance as someone who wavers between being resolute and questioning his own faith. Chris Rock, well he rocks! It's got action, emotional drama, comedic relief, it's a concrete blonde!
An Excellent Action/Thriller With A Stellar Cast!!!  2005-08-07 - I usually don't have time for Action/Thriller movies about robberies but this is the exception to the rule and it would have to be on my list of My Favourite Top Ten Movies. I can't speak highly enough of this film. Nightclub owner Jack, played by Eric Roberts organizes a group of 8 people to steal some large amounts of cash. This movie has Drama, Comedy and Sympathy for the characters from the viewer which is rare for most action movies these days. The guys and the woman who stole the cash all have a secret and as the body count rises their secrets are slowly revealed. Tia Carrere is beautiful as always and produced this movie which shows she is a lady of not only beauty but good taste in scripts.Clarence Williams III gives a great performance and it is a real shame that we do not see him in more movies these days.Chris Rock is also very funny as the guy who is the partner of Ms. Carrere.I liked this movie so much that I bought a copy from the Video Store which is a pretty rare thing for me to do. This movie was made in 1995 and it has hardly dated. Bravo to the cast, crew, director and producers of this fine piece of Hollywood magic.They don't come much better than this!!!
Not bad!  2002-06-12 - Eight misfit criminals unite to simultaneous steal from various targets in the city. Of course it all goes bad, predictable but still fun and entertaining. There's a lot of gunfire, explosions, tough-guys and a gal, and some humor thrown in. It translates to a very good action-thriller. Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts, is as good as he was in Runway Train (he was nominated for an Academy Award for in 1985). At the end of this film you might be surprise who the real target is! It's worth your time, however it is only available in limited quantities, you'll have to order it and wait. But it's worth it. By the way, Chris Rock is true to form and he'll make you laugh! Rate R for strong language and violence.
