Keira Knightley = omg hot

But the Observer review said this film was the worst film Tony Scott has ever made.

So I don't know!

UGO.com rated it ok but the Mail said it was so bad it's good.

I want to see it, I think it'll be ok.

Why?

I'm guessing "a twelve year old boy with a sexy face" is a good approximation.

It's funny because it's true!

All the reviews i've read give it a pretty diabolical thrashing. Not that i was going to see it mind, as i cannot stand Knightly, her voice over in the trailers just powdered my teeth. Only plus point is Mickey Rourke and his mashed up face.

I imagine it will look very odd seeing a well-to-do rich girl with a posh accent and a gun, but then that;s the woman she's playing so I'll get used to it.

Nah they couldn't afford me.

Keira didn't want to show off her arse, she would rather have shown off her chest, so they used an arse double.

Oh dear, this summary from the Guardian doesn't look good.
I wonder, do the ratings from the Mail and Telegraph actually mean that they give it 0, or did they just not see it?

Will be interesting to see what you think.

Maybe you should see this instead.

From the trailer it seems like Tony Scott is getting lost in his "OMG, look at my fast edeting and color filters i'm soooooooo edgy, isn't it cool??"
No Tony, it's not.

i've heard of people actually getting motion sickness from this one due to gratuitous combos of quickcuts, slow-mo, speed-up and other such framery-trickery.

but maybe if ure a mtv-yoof-generation x'er you`ll love it.

Deleted user 18 October 2005 12:24:36

I pretty much wrote it off from the trailers. Knightley just isn't meant for films like this. 'Golly gosh I'm going to bloody well shoot you now haw haw'.

You know who Domino Harvey is, yes?

Deleted user 18 October 2005 12:26:07

Nope. I'm meant to then? I just didn't find her character attractive from the trailers. I assumed the trailers were meant to make me interested, as opposed to make me think it looked bloody ridiculous.

Keira is almost perfect casting for her, except she's more attractive than the recently deceased Domino Harvey.

Just a pity the film appears to have junked most of her real life and turned her into something she wasn't.

I'm not surprised the real Domino Harvey was really happy with the movie.

Domino Harvey

Deleted user 18 October 2005 12:40:17

Right, I see - I wasn't aware of this. While I feel faintly ignorant, that doesn't detract from Knightley's apparent wooden delivery from the chunks I've seen. I suppose I shouldn't judge it so easily.
