Ha ha h...Brent. Still having trouble signing in. <br /><br /> Ha ha ha ! I wondered if you would like this!! I actually think it was pretty good even though your points are very valid. Somehow this worked for me event though I can't stand Ryan. Green Lantern? no thanks!!<br /> It will be interesting to see how many movies this one will inevitably spawn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-4944116562695850812011-05-31T09:33:17.456+01:002011-05-31T09:33:17.456+01:00It's worth seeing Duke I just personally would...It's worth seeing Duke I just personally wouldn't set your expectations too high.

Perhaps if it had have been shorter it might have got away with it but on the hour mark I was starting to feel my attention slipping.<br /><br />Castor - as above, I understand that Cortes wants to make a film which pushes the endurance of the viewer and of the one-location concept. But personally, I wasn't engaged enough by watching a man in a box for 100 minutes, hence the suggestion of taking the action outside of the box. I realise the film would lose something artistically but, for me, it needed to do that to become a touch more exciting. If the artistic conceit of a single filming location hasn't got the legs to last 100 minutes then why adhere to it?Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-71624554868021805832011-05-30T16:47:44.120+01:002011-05-30T16:47:44.120+01:00The concept is pushed beyond its limit here but I ...The concept is pushed beyond its limit here but I kind of liked this movie. Ryan Reynolds really has to carry the film from the first to last second and he does some really underrated work. I totally disagree about going "outside the box". It's the entire point of the movie to be stuck inside this coffin.Castorhttp://www.anomalousmaterial.com/moviesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-16450888014970831152011-05-30T12:10:19.868+01:002011-05-30T12:10:19.868+01:00I disagree, the idea of even showing what goes on ...I disagree, the idea of even showing what goes on outside the box gives me with a slight feeling of dread.<br /><br />I think we've seen that approach to "trapped" films in film and TV so many times that it has become conventional and dramatically inert. By removing it I think Cortes puts even more doubt into the mind of viewer as to whether Reynolds can even get out of the situation alive. You compare it with how 127 Hours did it (which is equally good) but I feel it'll be less interesting if the film attempted cross cutting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
