kosmasp The movie really tries hard. And it checks every box it has to. Still it doesn't feel really like a classic. I didn't feel like I wasted my time though watching this. Still if you have seen a few movies with similar themes, you can see where this is going early on (the time hopping is nice, but has been used quite often too).The actors are good, but the roles they have do not require them to do a lot. There is not that much character depth (although a few touches here and there are nice to see). I have no complaints about the framing/style of the movie, though I guess there are superior movies in those regards too. Just don't expect too much ...
agibaer Summary: A notorious gang of robbers known as "The Cowboys" rob a bank that is already been robbed by someone else.Review: Boy, what a mess! Confusing and erratic back flashes, the same scene in the bank shown over and over from different angles and perspectives and a whole lot of unnecessary or unfinished plot strings. Starring John Simm and Philip Glenister, the great Duo from "Life on Mars" this could have been such a great, funny and entertaining movie. I think this movie is meant to be funny as well, but you don't get much of that. Interesting, how 74 minutes can take that long to pass. Boring.Highlight: The Security GuardNotable Actors: John Simm (Doctor Who), Philip Glenister (Life on Mars)
Kwah-LeBaire This is a British heist movie. I bought the DVD because I like heist movies, but this one was a disappointment. There is a good, original idea at the heart of it, but the execution lets it down.The direction is of the clunky television variety. I kept thinking I was watching one of those snarly, macho British cop shows, except the robbers got (slightly) more screen time than the cops. The big 'surprise' at the end is clumsily signaled early on.The story leaps about in time and space, with the same tiny slices of story being told over and over again, with incremental increases at each iteration. If you want to see a movie with multiple viewings of the same event, done properly, watch the Stanley Kubrick heist, "The Killing".There is probably less than an hour of actual story-time to the movie. It has been padded out to 79 minutes by the repetitions and an exhausting, irritating and near-impossible-to-read title sequence at the beginning.If you really want to watch "Tu£sday", look for a DVD version with English sub-titles, unless you're fluent in a variety of British accents. I was guessing at much of the dialogue, with frequent recourse to the rewind button for second and third hearings of a line.And if all you want is to see a good British heist movie, try: "A Fish Called Wanda", "The Bank Job", "Daylight Robbery", "The General" or "Sexy Beast".
James O'Dowd (Jimbeeer) Clearly building on the success of Life on Mars and the relationship between John Simm and Philip Glenister comes Tu£sday; a movie about 3 separate groups of characters, all out to rob an Emerald from a bank and all decide to rob it at the same time. Chaos ensues.Except it doesn't. I didn't care about the characters. I didn't care about the storyline and the bad Liverpool and Glaswegian accents just grated on me.Hoping it would be a kind of Lock, Stock with the multiple interwoven story lines centred around a bank robbery, i was woefully disappointed.The time line jumps around between scenes and slowly builds up everyone's story. Unfortunately this is just confusing rather than clever. The robbery is deeply uninspired and just a little too 'regular' for a movie. Adrenalin-pumping it is not! The actors look bored throughout and the film ends with the most predictable anti-climax I've seen in a long while.I waited and waited for something exciting to happen. But nothing does, it just plods along at its own little pace, then it ends.The only commendation I can give it, is that it's a nice trim 79 minutes so you won't waste too much of your life on it. Even 3 of those are spent on the most dull opening credits I've seen in a long while.
