Kate

After she’s irreversibly poisoned, a ruthless criminal operative has less than 24 hours to exact revenge on her enemies and in the process forms an unexpected bond with the daughter of one of her past victims.



Well, Well, Well, where the hell do I start with this movie, I know, we'll start with the cliche moments, yeah, yeah, I know, they're in all movies these days, but this movie had them coming out of the bleeding woodwork. I actually thought that the cliches were going to kill the Heroine at one point but she survived them all, well, right until the last one smacked her in the kisser with a little pink wave to boot, aaaaaw, what a great cliche ending scene, it must have taken them a billionth of a second to come up with that bollocks.

As for the rest of the film, the choreography was akin to a six week induction course into how not to do realistic movie fight scenes, it was a bleeding shambolic performance by all of those involved and this movie deserved much better than the $50 they must have spent on it.

I'm not blaming the actors for it, that's the job of the choreographer to make the actors look as if they'd done this a thousand times or more, oh well, maybe next time eh.

This movie could have been done much better but, for all that was wrong with it, it was still a decent movie to watch, if only some creativity had been exercised it would have been given a far higher rating than I gave it, it was such a shame that this version was released instead of a more creative version, damn.

Movie Rating 5.5\10

Was this movie the best one I've ever seen, hmmmm, No, but it is highly entertaining and its got a great cast to it as well, whoever put that cast together should have won a bleeding oscar for it, what can I say about Mary Luise Parker's character as well, Awesome.
If you're going to do a movie that includes death, violence and a bit of comedy then this film is how you do it, Bruce Willis exiting that police vehicle scene was a touch of class camera work, would I watch it again?, you betcha I would and that's why its going to get an above average rating.

Movie Rating 7.5

Mary Luise Parker, phwoar, she's Awesome.

Once again a blockbuster movie had a rubbish plot and it didn't have an original idea throughout the whole movie either. It had almost half a billion dollars spent on it and had less than ten bucks spent on the actual plot, in fact there wasn't even a plot worth talking about, it was kill Jake Tully from start to finish with a load of bollocks in between. How many times have I seen that plot line?.

What!, who's Jake Tully you ask?, Oh, come on guys you know who he bleeding was right?, for those who have forgotten, he was the crippled marine who ended up bedding Zoe Saldana in the first movie, got it, great let's move on quickly.
Yes, Avatar the first film got an impressive 6.5 out of 10, not because it was a good film but, because the idea of the film had an half decent plot about it. That could also have been because I had the Flu that weekend so I probably was mentally incapacitated at the time. I haven't said much about this film because it was boring me to death and there wasn't anything innovative to talk about, but as I was going to do a review of it later I had to see it all the way to the end, bloody hell, if I had to go through the most painful death that anyone has ever had it would have been more entertaining than this load of bollocks I've just seen.

I have to give it a rating and it's a bang average one too,
Film Rating 4.5 out of 10.

The plot's got a lot of holes, but it's a movie you can get your teeth into.

From the director who made "Malena". The directors cut (almost 3 instead of 1.5 hours). Italian original sound with English subtitles. Full movie. Winner of 1990's Oscar "Foreign language film".

Back then the Oscars at least sometimes had some relevance. Today I would feel offended if getting an Oscar, and would throw it back at them, yelling rude words.
