Mason-24

I saw this movie on television the other day and I didn't know much about it, I had heard about it when it had come out and thought it would be quite good because it had Keanu Reeves in it.....boy was I mistaken.

This could be a worthy contender for worst film ever. Everything about this film was terrible. The plot was okish, whereas the acting was just horrifying. I was astonished at the awful acting from Keanu Reeves and from all the other actors as well. The only actor who wasn't awful was Ice-T...which is saying something! The effects were crappy and god awful! This whole movie was just a load of garbage which I could barely even sit through.

No matter who you are stay away from this pile of garbage! This is an insult to movies everywhere and shouldn't be seen by anyone ever again.

I was pleasantly surprised with this flick, as it looked like a typical and un-original action film whereas it turned out to be fairly original and extremely entertaining. The central character is called "Boomer" and is played by Scott Wiper who is a very talented actor, director and writer and it seemed as though he put a lot of thought and effort into this movie, which really pays off. The opening scene is one of the best i've seen for a long time and is obviously influenced by the 'Quentin Tarantino' style of writing and film-making...which of course is a good thing. I was also surprised at the strength of the cast, which includes such hollywood names as Lou Diamond Phillips, Joe Pantoliano, Natasha Henstridge and Andre Braugher.

The highlight of this film has to be Andre Braugher's character 'Cleveland'. Cleveland is a fairly complex character and quite humerous, he's an assassin with a good heart and really makes the film much more entertaining (as do most of the characters). However, I was quite disappointed with some of this film as the big names such as Natasha Henstridge and Joe Pantoliano hardly get any screen time and I was very disappointed as I thought these actors/actresses would be significant characters, which they weren't. All in all 'A Better Way To Die" is an extremely entertaining action flick which takes you on a roller-coaster ride of action and surprises.

I saw this film the other day on t.v and I had heard so much about it being thought provoking and dramatic...and I thoroughly enjoy heavy dramas however I was extremely disappointed with this film.

Many people have been writing about how amazing it is but all I found it to be was a corrupt cop (brilliantly played by Harvey Keitel) going about his daily life taking drugs, having sex with prostitutes etc. and briefly investigating a rape of a nun.

I don't recommend this film at all, but that might just be me. I seriously don't see how this can win awards and be called a masterpiece as I just find it tedious and strange.
