I wasn't so jazzed about this film. I gave it an honest effort. Watching every banter-filled line between Robert Downey, Jr. and Mrs. Chris Martin. But, the film still bored me. Don Cheadle played an OK side-kick...apparently, Terrance Howard had that role in the first one and kicked ass. What's up with the Howard-Cheadle switcharoo?? Haven't seen the first one nor do I have any desire to see it. Redeeming qualities: Mickey Rourke is pretty bad ass with his Russian accent and the film's soundtrack rocks! Rating - A must see for anyone who plays the movie-actor connector game. Otherwise, press on!

Day 7 - Brooklyn's Finest
Redbox has the finest selections. Punny funny ;). So, this film hooked me from the very beginning. The acting and the shot selections are on point. The director, Antoine Fuqua, brought the rawness of Training Day and tied it with the beauty of Brooklyn's riverscapes and subway architecture. Ethan Hawke steals every scene he's in cause you never know who he's going to shoot next. And, it's good to see Wesley Snipes working again. Well done Mr. Fuqua. Rating - good middle of the week film. Pair it with a beer and some chips n salsa.
