Author Topic: The Cold Light of Day Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 09-27-2012 05:12 PM                        This isn't the greatest movie ever made but it's enough to keep me interested. You see people walking away twice in a few of the early scenes, some of the editing is a bit choppy and unsynchronized. When the hero (Henry Cavill) first picks up a gun he darn near shoots himself because he's handling it so awkwardly. Good, that's a fairly realistic depiction. But immediately after that he instantly becomes pretty expert at handling and cocking it. Huh? The story is not bad; the climactic fight in the parking garage and subsequent car chase are pretty thrilling; the ending is, well, just a way to end the movie. Overall, this is a reasonably not-bad movie. I've seen better and I've seen a lot worse. The last two movies that I've played were boring (Hope Springs) followed up by offensive (The Campaign), so this is actually the best show I've played since Timothy Green (which was a really nice movie).  |  IP: Logged
