I was thumbing through the Netflix new releases and recommendations and came across this yet again, thinking, no I still don't really want to watch it. The trailers and marketing for this flick were abysmal and were, truth be told, largely why I wasn't particularly interested. A 2.5 rating on NF (or any rating for that matter) is usually a very accurate cross section of opinion, more so than on the IMDb for example, so normally I'm not above letting the NF user reviews guide my decisions somewhat, well I'm very glad this time that I didn't.
To start with, the film is directed and written by Neveldine/Taylor (aka Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor). These are the blokes that brought us Crank and Crank 2. This immediately peaked my interest, plus the added bonus of Michael C. Hall of Dexter fame as the villain. And so I gave it a shot. The result was a ride that was satirical, dystopian, kinetic, provocative, violent and action packed. There's really a lot more too this film than meets the eye, I recommend you check it out. And what's next for Neveldine/Taylor, well, it's the sequel to the somewhat underrated "Ghostrider" and given what they bring to the table this sequel will not only likely rock, but be a sight better than it's predecessor as well unless I miss my guess.See More 9 hours ago · Like
