Read CA's review.He gave it a 8/10 so it must be worth checking out 😖hock:

yes

go away.No one listens to you

You know the name and town of the theatre? That just sounds too peculiar, if you ask me.

Whats a second rate theater?

They're just theatres that show films that get bumped after a few weeks in favor of new releases. Tickets are usually $1 or $2. There's one by my apartment which I frequent.

Beastro, I am going to ask that you refrain from flaming. You weren't provoked, and everyone's positive participation is encouraged and welcome, regardless of what you may suggest.

im gonna go out and see this tomorrow i think.. not expectiing greatness from it but it looks pretty good regardless.. and beastro i find it funny you said go away no one listens to you, and then you asked what a second rate theater was when thats what they were talking about in the first place

It doesnt look like a big blockbuster.I can imagine why it would be aty a second rate theater.

This looks good. Finally a studio with the cohonas to actually release an R-rated film!

I'll tell you what, it sure as hell lived up to it's rating. I was taken back how "in your face" it was. That said, I loved every headshot, every curse word, and every vulgar display of power.

Great! I am babysitting my six-year old nephew on Saturday night and was worried I wouldn't have anything productive for him to do. This film solves that problem.

hahaha great just what the youth of america needs! 😉

and it does not make sense for this to be at a second rate theater beastro especially when you dont know what one is... they would have to pay the same amount for it and therefore make no money... those theaters get films that do poorly and go out quick or they run ones during the transition period from theater to DVD when they get them cheaper and sell tickets for cheaper ive never seen a movie go directly there ever

saw it.. and i thought it was very good.. better then i expected. I really didnt expect some of the things it did they really didnt hold back at all. Had a couple laughs and lots of good old gun fighting. it was all put together very well and turned out to be really good.. although someone should tell them about thermal goggles

How is it "in your face" as some of you describe it?

a lot of action movies are pg-13 and more family friendly this is not.. its more real people shoot people in the face because they know it will kill them they are cold mean assholes because its kill or be killed.. oh and a lot of people die not one of those movies where someone saves the day and everyone is happy..

I really liked the intro scene too Ethan Hawke did a great job with it

Spoiler:
Watching John Leguizamo repeatedly stabbing someone with a giant shive directly, in the camera's view, pretty much made it a all out slaughterfest of a movie.
