And the 8th film of the weekend...there's nothing quite like an impromptu trip to the cinema on a sunday night and a good catchup with an old mate!
This film got #1 at the US box office and came with some really good reviews, but so did Fast & Furious, so I wasn't sure how good this was going to be.
I'm glad to say that I was really surprised, it's actually put together very well, has some great twists and has a very mild touch of the Tarantinos...
Denzel does what he does, and really plays a very good part in this film, while Wahlberg, who has his critics (me included), actually excels in this. I think it's very much the role is made for him, but at the same time, he still has to make the part his own, and he does it with ease.
I tried to pick faults with this film while watching it, but every time I expected something stupid to happen, it simply didn't.
It gets a 7.9, not quite pushing the 8 barrier, although I was close!
