Texas Killing Fields (2011)

A Good Crime/Thriller With Sam Worthington...

[6/10 · 29 November 2011]

First I want to say, that this movie is not as bad as many think. The Story is in my opinion good and the script is well written.

Sam Worthington does a very good job. This is maybe his best performance since MacBeth. Another good thing about him, is that he is just like everyone else, he is a human who makes mistakes. Its not like all the other roles he was in, thats a very different part he is playing here. The other cast members are also good but not outstanding, Sam did the best job here.

The Problem with this movie is, that its sometimes boring. I don't want to say, that I really wanted to sleep because of this flick, but it was not catching the audience as much as it should.

The atmosphere was another positive aspect. Texas looks very great, everything feels so real.

Overall its not the greatest movie ever, but for Sam fans its worth a look. For the others, I don't thing that they will find something great in this movie.

A rental is okay.

The Son of No One (2011)

Good Police Thriller, ruined my terrible Flashbacks

[6/10 · 19 November 2011]

The Son of No One is (in my opinion) a good police thriller with some nice twists and great actors.

Channing Tatum is okay at his job, but all of the time he doesn't show big emotions. So his face actually never ever changes. You could say that he acts bad, but maybe its a part of his character. Overall he can act much better, I know.

Ray Liotta and Al Pacino do their work also good, but have not so much screen time. To bad, the Director could make a bit more than this.

But what really ruined that movie for me, were the flashback scenes, where we see the young character of Channing Tatum. The acting is bad and the dialog is just terrible. I watched lots of movies, but this is maybe one of the worst script I have ever seen. If they would have made these scenes better, the movie would have a better rating.

All in all its not as bad as many think. Its okay for a rental...
