Load of rubbish!!

Better Late Then Never

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Why You Might Like It: It is a fairly straightforward action-drama if that is what you are looking for. There is plenty of action, explosions, shootouts throughout and they are on par for the time the movie was made. It does feature Russell Crowe as the lead and a few other recognizable actors that do a solid job as well. Overall, it isn't going to go down as one of the best action movies out there, but it does manage to be entertaining.Why You Might Not Like It: This movie has quite a few holes in it and lacks realism on many levels. If those things bother you, then I would find another more realistic movie in this genre. The acting is bad in spots and the movie doesn't offer much outside of some over the top action. Again, the story and plot are fairly weak and there are many better movies in this genre.Acting/Casting: 5.5* Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 6*Plot/Characters: 5.5* Entertainment Value: 6* Total - 5.5+6+5+6 = 22.5/4 = 5.625 - Very Mediocre

Never heard of this movie but it popped up one night on cable and I sat down to watch it. The movie as a whole is not bad but I get the feeling that the director wasn't sure exactly what type of movie he wanted to make. And after watching it, I still don't know. Is it an action move, a romantic comedy, a 48hr buddy movie... A 1\2 hour into what I thought was a basic action movie, it kinda just started to jump around. One scene it's action movie, next scene it's a romantic comedy, next scene it's an action comedy movie, etc...Besides the whole schizophrenia stuff, the movie is really not that bad. I pretty much like anything with Crowe and everyone with the exception of Slater is pretty good.I recommend this movie as long as there's not a good game.

After watching this film I could see the great actor that Russell Crowe has become. The film although lacking a little in the story department, just needed a few added scenes, the actors were great. The comic relief was great. This film received an okay star rating from me and has good reason. You should take a look especially if you are a fan of the man now.

No great shakes, just a 90 minute time killer. Has enough action to make you forget about the canyon-sized plot holes, and Crowe is convincing as always. He plays an FBI guy who botched up an assignment and is trying to make amends to the agency. He is also a widower and has a seven year old son. Helen Slater is annoying in the thankless role of comic relief. The themes of racism reminded me of 'Romper Stomper' which Crowe starred in. The beginning of the movie looks like its directly from that excellent movie shot before this. As a fan I had to see it for Russell. If it were Bruce Willis I would have never bothered. Its only ninety minutes so no one really can get offended.
