Shoot the Duke

Now this is what you call a surprise! I had nothing else to do and me being a movie buff had seen all the recent movies, so I thought what the heck-I will play this movie and do some work side by side and at least something will be there to watch while I rest! But as the movie started it had something very interesting about the plot, though being low budget (as we can make out from the star cast) it came out to be something you would watch till the end.

As these days market is full of dull and boring movies with BIG star cast who never deliver and you always feel that you have burnt your money; nonetheless this movie is value for money-Its Funny, Amazing Fire Fights, Continuous (thats what keep you glued to the movie)and Characters are all perfectly directed to act and deliver.

I have given it 10/10 because after a season of worthless movies this movie gives a hope for the survival of Hollywood as an Entertainment Industry!:) It made me laugh, kept me thinking and helped me kill time. Thumbs up to the director to do such a great job with such a low budget and this particular star cast--- I loved the characters of all the Hit men---they were just perfect!

Overall Great Job!

If you want to be entertained and got bored anyway you might want to consider watching this movie. The story is OK, does not surprise but is also not as dumb as in many other movies which were released or will be released in future. Nonetheless, I constantly thought about taking out the DVD while watching this movie; it simply was so average that I did not know whether or not I should let it waste my time... this is also due to the flat characters who are not elaborated throughout the movie - they are simply acting in the one way or the other.

What I wonder about: this is a German movie... most of the actors are German, too. Nonetheless, they are not dubbed but their own variety of English was recorded and used for the English movie. In my opinion, you can of course hear the German accent of some of the actors which is no problem though.

The only real villain in this movie is the psycho copper, whose wife one can well understand divorced him.

No actually the real villains have to be the movie makers.

So we're expected to believe that after the psycho cop pulled a gun on an assistant unqualified doctor to carry out an operation removing a bullet from a witness's head, his ex wife nurse does nothing,

Then when killers come into the hospital to ensure the witness is dead no-one calls the police as psycho cop want his pregnant ex wife and the assistant doctor to take on the hitmen while he kills his witness moving him against medical advice to try and get him out of the hospital.
