Pride And Glory -
I'm really surprised by this one, I mean I don't remember it being anywhere near this great as when I saw it in theaters back in October. Even then I didn't think that it would be a great movie with rewatches, but I'm sure glad I decided to buy it and rewatch it tonight because it got much better with a rewatch. I remembered some of the scenes lagging a bit from when I saw it in theaters, but surprisingly, I feel that this didn't really get slow once tonight. I think I didn't like how maybe one or two scenes were shot, but besides that I basically had no problem with this movie.
Ed Norton, Colin Ferrell, and Noah Emmerich lead this powerful drama, with some of the best acting that I've seen in a movie from 2008. I'm actually quite surprised to see that none of them even got one nomination at the oscars this year, but then again I don't really like many of the oscar choices this year. I would even go as far to say that this is the best performance that I've seen Colin Ferrell in yet, but just so you know, I haven't had a chance to see In Bruges yet, which I know has gotten a lot of praise and I really want to see it. I would say that this is Norton's best performance, but if I did, I'd be lieing because I doubt any performance of his will ever top him in Fight Club. Noah Emmerich is the one that surprised me most though, even though I don't think he was the best out of the three of them, I think he deserves the most reconition for his role in this because, besides The Truman Show, I didn't really think he could particually act that great.
Don't decide if you want to see the movie from the trailer though, because the trailer is really misleading. The ending is by far the best thing about this though, even though it's really hard to tell when the actual ending starts, once you notice it, you'll love it. I say that because, if you haven't seen it before, you may think that the movie is about to end, but in reality it has another hour left in the movie. If you haven't had the chance to see this yet, I'd suggest going out and at least renting it now that it's out on DVD, I'd personally recommend it for a buy on DVD though.
