I see it's getting screened/world premiered at SXSW this Sunday. If anyone goes, spill yr guts.

Each time a punch lands, an elephant dies.

Just watched it again after Veg posted on fb. That last sequence, with the hose/rope/whatever is maniacal in conception. Love it!

Oh, and the luggage gag has made me crack a smile every time.

this looks like a me movie

idk anything about the graphic novel it's based on. anyone familiar?

one interesting thing to me is a few critic reviews namecheck lecarre which srsly is just their terribly lazy shorthand for "spies". there's ~zero~ lecarre here.

william gibson said the trailer's dna is more deighton than fleming, and I def feel that.

four months pass...

One week away.

Will this be the first thing I go to the theater for this year? Yes.

I would really like this to be good but I'm deeply skeptical

i enjoyed her interview on the Stern show the other day. haven't seen any trailers or any advertising for this but i'll check it out...

Worth it alone for the extended staircase fight/elevator/car chase sequence - as equal in intensity as the long scenes in Children Of Men.

Didn't know it was based on a comic book series.

Also, there's a fight scene in a movie theater playing Stalker

― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 18:38 (nine years ago)

Nonsensical plot, could've had more fight scenes, Sofia Boutella was wasted.

Yeah this kinda sucked.

― The Marmadook (latebloomer), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 20:26 (nine years ago)

I didn't make it to the theater over the weekend, and reviews from friends have dampened my enthusiasm. :(

― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 2 August 2017 21:19 (nine years ago)

the action is good, the music is placed a little too obviously but decently picked, and the actual plot isn't telegraphed well enough to make the intrigue really stand out

― mh, Thursday, 3 August 2017 02:56 (nine years ago)

spy intrigue not intriguing, I should say

― mh, Thursday, 3 August 2017 02:56 (nine years ago)

Set, setting, and intrigue is about as relevant as a blog theme in this.

― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 3 August 2017 22:25 (nine years ago)

eight years pass...

Never screened this before, very good action as noted and the cinematic remake needle drops are amusingly ridiculous. Threads a needle of being (very) sexy without ever tipping over into skeevy, a feat rarely pulled off today.

I've tried to watch this movie 3x on airplanes and have fallen asleep immediately every time.
