i was bored the other night, so i watched this movie (or at least a part of it).
it did nothing for me, it was boring, it compounded my boredom to the point of insanity.
i would prefer to watch paint watching me dry.
that chick croaked her way through the first half of the movie - i hate the way she spoke,she was boring.
The guy, well, he was just a fat kind of boring.
the plot was boring.
i imagine the cameramen and there boring camera`s were bored.
The best part of the movie for me was when i walked out through sheer boredom.
it was so boring i got a nosebleed.

and even that was boring.

i need a flick to cheer me up now, and it has to be insanely funny in order to bring me back to the standard bored state i was in previously.

Wow, I literally skipped through the movie, you know by moving the player-slider and I saw absolutely no action just keyframe after keyframe the same dull scenery and dialog after dialog (all that in about 20 seconds).

So I went to this forum to see if my quick impression has any base, and voila same things from guys who watched this dreck. Saved me almost 2hours of lethal boredom.

Indeed - this film will be studied by professors of borology for years to come. Unless they get too bored.

No kidding.

The only good part of the movie was the 5 seconds of the movie her boobies were out.

Thought this movie was a n action film that took place in an airport..............................
Was I wrong only thing good about it was Asia Argento's tits & ass

I'd forgotten how boring some people on these boards could be. If the only thing that gets your hamster spinning its wheel is T&A maybe you should stick to soft porn flicks.

Seriously, go see Death Race if that's what you're into.

I'll add, though, that I have not seen this movie yet, and it may very well be boring, but it won't be because of the amount of dialogue or lack of action and splosions.

all the bored posters above, probably really love Michael Bay movies.

I loved the begining of this movie. I had to have watched the lenghty scene between Asia and Madsen about ten times. Usually I skip out on the action portion of the movie, but none the less pretty good, i own it.

Boring? Wow. Was I watching the same movie? How old are you guys? Who the hell says boobies? What are you guys, six years old?

This thread has compounded childishness.

[–] AshuriiAsia 15 years ago

I actualy REALLY liked this movie :) I thought maybe the dialogue dragged on abit, but atleast it gives a clear view on what the characters are all about. The movie I think really gets good when Asia shoot Michael Madson.

This movie was boring. That from a guy that loves Eric Rohmer movies (most people find them boring). The dialogue was forced, two dimensional, and you can tell the actors didn't know who they were supposed to be or any of their backstory. Seemed like a high budget student film.

Wow man, you sound like a really boooring guy. Your post is droning and repetitive, and it is obvious that you have the attention span of an American 10 year old raised on video games. You are looking for entertainment? I recommend porn. And not slow artistic shot-on-film porn with a story and substance, but the kind of porn that involves a bunch of whores in a motel room with a film school student holding a digital video camera. If you find your attention wandering, you can fast forward to the cumshot, and if that fails, might i suggest Ridilin? But try the porn first, as it is kind of obvious that there is no girlfriend to worry about. I would love to know why all you 'tarantino zombies' continue to watch Euro cinema, when you all clearly have no clue as to what it is all about. I guess you nerds are looking for that next "Pulp fiction?" If another piece of crap like that does come along, i'm pretty sure it will be American, so give up on the World cinema, you just dont have a clue.

Thanks for your post, it was great. The original poster made me feel like all of the wrong people see the wrong movies and I don't understand the gratification they could possibly procure from generating negativity about a movie they didn't like. How is it THAT boring? I am so confused. Like really it was thaaatt boring? You didn't find it the slightest bit interesting?

I get bored by watching films that are so formulaic and generic and I know exactly what's going to happen and what to expect because it's just like every other movie like it because it's trying to be which is even worse. I get bored by seeing bad actors cast in way too many movies where I have no choice but to see them again even though the film is so careful and marketable that it's backed by people who are counting dollars. Not by people with creativity. That bores me. I get bored by everything taking place in New York because everywhere else in the world is too unfamiliar. Isn't it funny how America uses the hell out of Canada for its shooting locations, but will never actually tell a story there? How they're afraid to even set an action film in Toronto because it's gotta be masked as Manhattan in the winter. But if that stuff isn't fed to everyone, it strikes such a nerve in people and it amazes me how it just flat-out disgusts people. Sad.

Actually, some scenes are boring, but for me, the boring ones are the ones without dialogues. Action scenes are not good, soundtrack doesn't fit action parts, but only intimate ones. The dark action scenes are the worst (on the docks/in HK). Melting movie genres without adapting or reforming the codes is hazarduous. The director did not managed that. But all the movie is not boring. At least, 20/25 minutes are, and may be they pollute the entire movie, for some people.

[–] The_Great_Ahmed_Kahn 15 years ago

this movie is boring AND poorly made....did i mention it's also stupid?

it looks like something someone creates as a freshman project for film school.

[–] alexkirei 14 years ago

I can't believe how boring this movie can be.
This movie must have been made with £ 10

[–] georgegates 12 years ago

11 £. One pound went into sealing the deal of Asia Argento flashing her tits & ass for 5 sec.
