Jonathan Morton I thought this movie kicked ass...I got the movie on discount just because John Digweed and Nick Muir did the soundtrack for it. It was all centered around music that I love and the plot was not bad at all. Let's not forget National Geographic!!! Who doesn't love NG?? I thought all of the references to the things happening in the animal kingdom was a very nice touch. I have seen that movie in more than one way...and it only gets better. Few movies have the ability to be good both ways. At any rate...I was impressed with Scott's performance...even though he did beat up the DJ...party foul!! I must have listening to the soundtrack for about a month before I realized that it was for a movie...since there are bites from the movie in the soundtrack...it was just like filling in the blanks.
writeus-1 About a heist, perpetrated under the cover of a rave.The look of the lead character, and the scenes of fast cars at the beginning give it a lot of promise, with a good idea and some action, but the film soon slowed, became repetitive and then relied on a series of clichéd moments for effect.Some of these ancillary plot lines are rather tacky. They include alternative forms of sex, including with a 16 yr old, and drink-spiking.Personally I would have rated this as an 18.We stopped watching after an hour and I am terribly sorry, but I have to say it was one of the worst films I have ever seen.
nlit2088 This is one of the best movies I have seen the acting is good and there's definitely some good directing. Its definitely not a Seann William Scott movie but thats wot makes it good plus hes HOT (lol). Hes such a good actor and this film definitely shows it he has such a good range. Go and see it, girls will love it for seann guys will like it for the girls and the action even parents will like it OK maybe not the best movie to watch with the parents but they will like it. I recommend it to everyone. Just think of it as been the movie that foolproof wished it was.Do I need to say more, go and see it. Trust me u'll love it.
kersus Direct to video it seems in North America, while it hit theatres in Europe.I saw this in a convenience store rental area - DVD for $1.99. The name of the movie's star was written larger than the title of the movie. It reaked of B-movie caliber. The name? Sean William Scott! I liked Sean in Road Trip, Final Destination, Dude Where's My Car and Evolution. His fame though comes from the American Pie movies. You'll also see him in Bulletproof Monk and The Rundown. He hasn't shown a ton of range in his acting ability and the closest he came to carrying a movie was in Dude where he co-starred. He has always done his role effectively though so after a few visits to the convenience store we decided to give him a try.I didn't expect much, and was shocked by what I viewed. Not only is Sean the star of this movie but he carries this movie with a superb cast, script, and direction. From the beginning to the end this was a classic in the making. From the stop scenes where characters talk to the camera, to the white haired Lou Diamond Phillips, to the Chinese Food delivery guy and further. I laughed and laughed and kept feeling "What a great movie!" Here's the gist you could easily get from the back of the box. They're going to pull a robbery using a Rave as a cover. In the course of the movie, they have many hurdles to overcome. During this, funny stuff happens.Sean plays the straight guy and a relatively serious role - very different from his other roles. He pulls it off without a hitch. Lou Diamond Phillips (Young Guns fame) is another surprise. You won't believe how good he is until you see him in this role. Easily the best of Lou I've ever seen. The whole cast was fantastic but I do have to mention Timm Sharp who's character was hard to like, but well developed and acted with precision. One would be remiss not to mention Dave Foley who played a part that was totally unlike anything I've ever seen from him. Truly amazing he was. Like I said, there wasn't a bad actor in the movie.Drew Daywalt and David Schneider seemed to make great directors and great writers. As Dave Foley said (the gist of it anyway from the DVD extras) - the difference between one director and two directors is that with two director's you have to pretend to listen to TWO people. Dave's humour! This movie is well developed, it has good camera action, and leaves you feeling like you spent two hours wisely. It's a classic for me and will sit on my shelf proudly displayed while I mention it to everyone who visits! Pick up the movie!
