May 11, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Well-paced at the start, approaching commonplace heist scenarios with just enough uncertainty and freshness to create tension-filled unpredictability.

Old S The best part of the movie is Jennifer Tilly. She's always great. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Jelisije J A movie that doesn't truly know what it wants to be. With so many moving parts with so many unnecessary characters that you get an entertaining but disjointed hell of a mess of a film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é ruim, o elenco é bom, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Carlos T Filme: A FUGA Assistido: nov. 2024 Elenco: @kim.basinger @alecbaldwininsta @michaelmadsenofficial @jennifertilly @realjameswoods Modelo: #gamgsters #romance Duração: 1h 55m Ano: 1994 Minha opinião: Temos aqui a belíssima Kim Basinger no auge de sua beleza. Um filme com o roteiro conhecido, que assaltam e depois fogem e sofre perseguição. Porem ness fuga acontece de tudo, até descobrir que a mulher para liberta-lo teve um relacionamento, isto abalou o casal, mas ele o eliminou. Até que um dos traidores da quadrilha Rudy (Madsen), que Doc (Alec) imaginou ter eliminado e descobrir que esta vivo, e agora o persegue e sua Carol (Kim). Oque vale mais aqui é poder rever a Kim e Alec quando era magro. Um filme mediano para época e para hoje devagar. Atuações medianas. Roteiro e enredo já conhecido, mas sem aquele tchan. Vale apena assistir? Por nostalgia. Nota: 6 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Lucas A Idk, I enjoyed it…I appreciate the effort they put into it unlike modern movies that CGI everything. Better than the kings speech (or something). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review avalon151 To be clear . . I am a HUGE fan of the original, with Steve Mc Queen and Ali MacGraw. I saw it in the theater on it's debut. The first time watching the remake . . I mistakenly thought it was pretty good. Upon review, this morning, I have whole heartedly changed my mind. As much as I like all the actors involved, I realized this version is almost phoned in and has rushed, robotic scenes. A cheap carbon copy of the original, sadly. I don't blame the actors . . but rather the director and producers. Too bad as the casting was pretty good . . but like many remakes I have to ask . . . WHY? . . as if the original wasn't amazing enough. If you're going to remake something . . it had better be at least as good . . or even BETTER than the original. This version sadly, does not stand up against the original . . but just ok as midfare entertainment, on it's own . . No disrespect to the great actors involved. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
