This movie had low ratings her but they jumped up after Walker's death


Sory guys, but there should be no sympathy when it comes to movie ratings because that will fool the people who want to watch the movie.

This movie had low ratings before Walker's death but suddenly they jumped up after his death.

Will he be another Heath Ledger who was awarded oscars just because of his tragic death?

I gave the movie a six because I actually liked Walker's acting in it. I don't really find it to be a very good movie, but I think he was good in it.

I feel just about the same as you towards everything you said, so I would actually recommend Pawn Shop Chronicles, I saw that months before he even passed and it immediately became one of my all time favorites, It's actually one of the best movies I've ever seen and an instant classic. I've always liked the movies he was in but was never a huge fan of him on any deeper level than that as his acting ect. was never really too great but in this movie he actually had a perfect performance. Ironically it's a dark comedy and not an action/thriller like we're used to seeing him in but he was by far my favorite character. Anyway, i would definitely recommend it as it's by far one of the most underrated movies on here, I'd give it a chance!

The movie was released after his death. I would assume more people watch a movie after it is released than before. I found it to be a really good movie and not because of his death, but rather the story of a father who would do anything to keep his daughter alive. It was also Paul Walker's best performance.

About Heath Ledger. Would he have been awarded the Best Supporting Oscar if he hadn't died? Probably not. Would he have been nominated? Maybe. Did he deserve it? If you have seen The Dark Knight, you would agree with me on this. Yes, he did.

I just watched this film, not realizing the actor had died since filming. TBH, movies such as this are hard to pull off, especially for the actor/director. I think many actors love the idea of such a role because it's up to them to carry the film. Of course, that must also be why not many attempt to do it...it's got to be terrifying.

While Walker did a good job in his role, the film just didn't pull it all together. A long and tedious film--although the atmosphere of claustrophobia was well done--in the end it just doesn't work. And a good acting performance, whether an actor's last or not, can't save the film. 4/10

I don't care about ratings if a movie looks or sounds interesting I will watch,there are plenty of movies here with low ratings that I enjoy and there are plenty of movies with High Ratings that I did not like so much like that Tom cruise movie Edge of Tomorrow it has an 8 rating,I don't think it should be higher than a 6 or 6.5

This movie I gave an 8/10,not because Paul died but because I enjoyed it
