I like the Miami Vice trailer

Travolta isnt exactly someone I think of when the word 'charismatic' is uttered. Then again, he also isnt really someone I think of when the word 'actor' is uttered. I despise the guy. Cant stand him. Horrible actor, and according to some a bit of a dickhead in real life as well...

(western) Actors I find charismatic are Jude Law, Depp, Ray Liotta, Ryan Reynolds, Jim Carrey, and a whole bunch of others...

I dont like Collin Farrel that much either, but then again that opion is based mostly on the stuff I've read about him, instead of the movie's he's been in, cause i've not seen many of his movies. But he hasnt been getting outstanding reviews, has he? There's a lot of hype around the guy, but it's mostly because of his bad boy rep.

Are you taking the piss??

Nope. he's been in shite movies, but he's pretty charismatic. He was great in that TV sitcom he did. 2 guys and a girl...

Charismatic actors that come to my mind right away:

Jackie Chan
Chow Yun-fat
Francis Ng
Tom Cruise (yes, for real)
Sylvester Stallone
Joe Mantegna
Jean Reno
Sean Connery
Samuel L. Jackson
Ken Watanabe
Michael J. Fox

I'm actually with Bobbi on this one. He has played some great roles, not least his Troy/Archer roles in Face/Off and Vic Deakins in Broken Arrow. But his Chili Palmer in Get Shorty is excellent too, and obviously his '70s roles as well.

And I'm with Mark on this one: Ryan fucking Reynolds?!

Now, if you'd said Nathan Fillion (who's in the same show) I could've understood it, cos he's got a very Harrison Ford vibe about him... but Reynolds?

Couple of dodgy ones on LD's list there (Sly?!) but can't argue with most of 'em.

I didnt like both Broken Arrow and Face Off. he was way over the top and over-acting in both...
He was cool as Chilli Palmer, but that's mainly because Chilli is a well written 2-dimensional comicbook character that's larger then life. Travolta's over-acting actually worked for that part, but at the same time the role isnt stretching any acting-muscles, issit?

Reynolds just stole that show. he was magnificent in it and drop dead funny. he has a perfect delivery and comic timing, as well as the cheek and charisma to pull of certain looks and jokes. he has great facial expression which are still natural.
Like I said, it's a shame he's picked his movie projects so badly as he's a gifted performer.

You guys may or may not be interested but I love the teaser so much, I've got it playing on loop.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jul 2006, 13:35

The ONLY good thing about the trailer is that it doesnt ruin the plot, thats it for me.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 22 Jul 2006, 13:38

It's rated '15' for strong violence and langauge.

So no kiddie flick this.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jul 2006, 13:47

Well the way Mann was talking it up it was suposed to be a hardcore flick, 15 isnt hardcore I guess he hasnt went that far at all.

Still at least I wont have to suffer another 12A rated film!!!!!!!! the audience for them eats ass and sucks balls! bunch of wankers!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 22 Jul 2006, 14:00

@ the last line.
It could hardly be rated 18 could it Romero? Its not as if the original show was that hardcore

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jul 2006, 14:27

The TV show is rated 18, so yes.

Its VICE as in drugs, prostitution, guns and nasty crimes

I expected an 18 after the way Mann talked all the gun battles and gore up to the interviewers, guess he is either talling fibs and over exadurating, or the BBFC dont seem to mind the violence etc

15 you can get away with plenty so at least thats ok.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 22 Jul 2006, 15:14

LOL no its' not rated 18 (was it ever?) - according to the BBFC most episodes are rated 15 - some are 12 and a couple are PG.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jul 2006, 15:44

It is indeed rated 18. Look on the dvds it say in big red words 18, always has always will. Just because a few epidoes are lesser rated means nothing as there are many 18 rated episodes.

The 18 rating only stetched to one episode not "many".
Busted

Did you not look at the BBFC listing?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jul 2006, 16:05

I go by the dvds, not the BBFC

if one episode is 18 then that makes the whole series.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 22 Jul 2006, 16:24

Yeah, the BBFC have to put the highest rating on the cover, even if it was one episode/a few of a whole season.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jul 2006, 16:41

No idea why its an 18 mind you, never really seen a full episode of the show. Wanted to as I like Don "Nash" J

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 22 Jul 2006, 16:55

I reckon it'll be satisfactory for a thriller... Mann's the man, man, he's the man.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 22 Jul 2006, 17:14

'15s' can be pretty strong these days with oodles of swearing and hi-octane action violence. As long as it's a good film that's what counts.

FYI: The only episode that was rated '18' was GOLDEN TRIANGLE, apparently for Strong Violence. I've never seen it.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jul 2006, 17:18

Thriller? from the sound of it the way Mann is talking about it, its a plane and simple action film.

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 22 Jul 2006, 17:49

Mann doesn't do uncomplicated flicks. There's always plenty of layers.

On a side note, I spent quite a bit of time downloading the wallpapers from the official site, and I'm more charged to see this film than any other. Can't wait.

THE FILM IS A JOKE!

Easily one of the single worst looking films I have ever seen in my life, the cameraman was obviously sacked, it looked like crap. Out of focus, wobbling all over the place enuff to make me feel sick and bacially the sound was a joke! the white noise levels drowned out the dialogue for gods sake! Many times I had no idea at all what anyone was saying as the sound was recorded badly and not cleaned up at all.

The film looks nasty with barley no lighting at all pushing the digital camera to produce what looks like hidious amounts of noise levels which are worse than the grainiest films out there. I have seen 16mm films fair better than these pittiful shots in a suposed $200 million film.

Washed out and blured shots frequent the film and rarely it ever looked anything but a mess. Every time the camera moved quickly everything turned into a streak of mess with complete and total loss of detail.

If this is the future of cinema, then I wont be watching films anymore. Ohh how the mighty have fallen, once a great film maker, now a inovator and purvayor of the turd looking film. Pathetic is the only way to describe it.

If the camera moved anymore I would have guessed it would have broke, as theres doing hand held and then theres doing it for no reason at all and making the audience sick! many people walked out of the film I was in, for good reason I say.

Yay! It's confirmed. The film will be one hell of an awesome ride.

Doesn't have to say a lot about the film. The only 3 times I ever saw people walking out of the cinema was during the following films: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Ichi the Killer" and "OldBoy". All three of them are films I really like.
