Inside Man (2006)
"Girls Gone Wild" is less insulting to the intelligence
Stereotypes and cliché plot lines in abundance. I turned it off and turned it in early to get a dollar back on the rental. The bad guys apparently plan to get no police involvement as they hold up a bank and wait inside for cops to arrive. But no, that was part of the plan. The cops are so repugnant personally that you want the bad guys to win. Foster is positively laughable as the ivy league white-collar crime-connected something deal-maker. Basically, all the actors play the same character bulling their way over each other - more aggression and emotional abuse than the video game that works its way in to be criticized for its violence. Wretched trite garbage.
Batalla en el cielo (2005)
Wretched
Boring. A plot that doesn't move, but rather seems situational. Instants of good cinematography, but you see them all in the trailer. Acting that could be portrayed by dead people. Sex that you wish was done by dead people. I thought I was over 2 hours into the movie and checked the clock - just past an hour. Yeesh! Avoid, unless drinking with friends.
(OH! I see IMDb wants more review than that - okay, **spoiler warning**)
A physically gross guy getting a BJ from a cute thing. She sheds a tear - why? You won't find out. Offscreen, his wife and he had stolen and accidentally killed a baby - why? You won't find out. But she was tired of hearing the mother, her friend complain. Callous (and not so bright to boot) -- Why? You won't find out. Ultimately the guy seeks redemption through religion - and gets it! Why (even though murder is a "deadly sin" and cannot be redeemed)? You won't find out.
Don't waste your time.
