merelyaninnuendo StretchSimilar to its premise, the night is overlong, stretched and exhausting for the viewers no matter how many tactics the makers install to woe the audience, it all nullifies down to zero in the end as there is not a single piece of craft to explore in here; everything is a bang, everything explodes. The mind-numbing action and chase sequences with predictable twists and turns, pretty much gives it away within the first few minutes of the feature. Addition to that, the ridiculous effort to create something funny out of these series of events makes it more disappointing. The writing is patchy and pointless throughout the course of it and neither is gripping enough to hold the audience despite of being merely of around 90 minutes. Joe Carnahan; the screenwriter-director, doesn't even convince the audience for a second look and the primary reason is its lazy pretentious execution skills that focuses on anything but crucial points. Addition to that, the performance too isn't up to the mark which comes as a shock especially coming from Patrick Wilson who is a potential actor. It isn't even shot decently and neither is its camera work something to aspire upon. Stretch is accurately titled that throws off the audience from the first act and never even attempts to seek attention after then.

Wizard-8 This movie was set to be given a wide theatrical release, but near the last minute, Universal Pictures cancelled these plans and chose instead to dump it straight to DVD. To date they haven't given an explanation why they changed their minds. Usually when this happens, it's because the movie is bad, but honestly I have seen a lot worse movies given wide theatrical releases. The movie certainly isn't dull, for one thing - it moves from plot turn to plot turn at a fairly fast pace, and there are a lot of wild and wacky things on display, some of which I admit are somewhat amusing. But in the end, I thought that the movie was TOO wacky. It seems that every character is to some degree a goofball, and as a result it was kind of hard to build enough sympathy and interest in anyone, especially the hero. Even in wacky comedies, you need to have someone you can relate to and sympathize with to some degree. Let me say again that this isn't really a bad movie, just one that I think was to a degree executed in a somewhat misguided fashion.

Vladimir Savija Honestly, when I started watching this movie I didn't expect much and the rate on IMDb was pretty low (6.5), but something about plot pushed me forward so I choose to watch it anyway. Movie surely has overstep my expectations. It is not perfect but in this time when comedy lost it's way and became totally dumb I had a few good laughs and that was enough for me to rate 9. I would say that this is probably Joe Carnahan's finest work, and that he's done a nice job. If you are looking for movie that will be interesting, keep your attention for whole time, but still relax you and make you laugh than by choosing this one you shouldn't mistake.

RevRonster "Stretch" is one of those movies that needed (and deserved) more press. It's a fun and wickedly entertaining story that is crafted together extremely well by director Joe Carnahan. The editing, lighting, and camera work all look fantastic and the film has a very funny story and the performances from everyone in it—all the cameo roles, Chris Pine and especially Patrick Wilson—are incredible and really make a great film even better. There are some moments where the story drags and loses some of its slick momentum but these moments are never long and never completely obliterate the entertainment value of it. Overall, just a really killer and fun movie.
