MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Kalashnikov This movie is an example of how to ruin an excellent plot by filling it in with shallow, wooden acting, poor direction, and unnecessary visual effects.I particularly hate the black and white theme with dashes of colour added in now and then. Someone thought it must be cool, but it those visual effects mean less than nothing, and the movie would have probably done a little better with normal colours (but I'm giving it too much credit, even with this statement).The screenplay lacks any kind of sophistication, whatsoever.My time would have been spent better if I were staring at at a wall instead of watching this movie.
tonicboy Normally, I wait until a film has at least a thousand reviews on IMDb before I watch it, but the first hundred reviews promised me such an amazing movie, I decided to ignore my better judgment. Too bad I didn't realize that the first hundred reviews were probably all the director's friends, family & cronies.The biggest problem with Jack Falls is that it has no vision at all. Instead, the director sought to replace true creativity by blindly copying fads and gimmicks from other movies. The "film noir" style is copied from Sin City (a laughably bad imitation at best), the "black and white with touch of color" is copied from Schindler's List, and the characters are all copied from a Guy Ritchie movie. The thing is, as derivative as it was, that formula may actually have resulted in an enjoyable movie if it weren't for the acting which was at times cringe- worthy but mostly just mediocre.If you're any sort of movie aficionado, stay far away from this movie - unless you're in the mood for a night of groans and face-palms.
kingmonkey-2 Watched last night at the premiere, a very enjoyable film. The film noir look really worked, and the split screen segments really add to the comic book feel. Some excellent action scenes and good performances all round, the cast were used perfectly, Alan Ford is perfect as the main villain, while Dexter Fletcher and Tamer Hassan really add to the film. Simon Phillips plays Jack perfectly and is very believable in the action scenes. While a thriller there are also some very funny moments, it's the best film of the trilogy so far and I for one would like to see the story continued.A British film that deserves your attention.
gabrielnolan I really wasn't sure what to expect going into this film, in truth my expectations weren't necessarily that high, although I did very much like the look of the trailer. Simply put, I was blown away! From the 35mm slick cinematic look right through to the incredible array of characters on screen, I was gripped from the start.This is a cut far above your standard British gangster movie, it's oozing with style, I can't believe how much I enjoyed it. There is an action set piece about half way through that actually left me white knuckled (how many Hollywood blockbusters wish they could pull that off these days!) Alan Ford (Brick Top from Snatch) was brilliant, Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Martin Kemp were all on razor sharp form, Adam Deacon proves he really can act and Simon Phillips was on fire as the titular Jack.Yes the film wasn't without its faults and of course it won't be to everyone's taste, it's a revenge thriller noir when all said and done, but I was left genuinely shocked by the quality on offer, I highly recommend going in with an open mind (unlike I did) and checking it out for yourself.
