Though Jason Statham been into wrong roles lately. But, this seems interesting. Its by the director Roger Donaldson, he did "The Recruit", which I really loved.

The movie got some nice reviews.

^Oh come on man, The Recruit was Al Pacino's worst performance ever.
This sounds like something I'd kinda enjoy I guess...Wasn't that guy in Snatch?

Did I speak about Al Pacino performance?! :os Though he was great!


Yeah thats the guy. Jason Statham has been active since 1999 & there is at least one movie for him every year, and you just remembered "Snatch"?! :rolleyes:

It was interesting to a level, what made it interesting is the story which is based on a true story. Its just that some parts were ruined by nude scenes. After all it was a good movie, 3.8/5.

Not really. But, you know when a nude scene adds to the movie & when it doesn't, guess you know what I mean ;)

Dude, nude scenes are nude scenes. They add to any story lol. I mean every normal straight guy loves a peek-a-boo.:D

Anywayz the nude scene did add to the movie because that's where the whole story is based. Like for example the princess having sex and the guys clicking pictures away, which leads to blackmail and finally to the whole reason why the bank had to be broken into.

A couple kissing, then rushing into taking their clothes off isn't the same as topless girls roaming in a stripping club trying to serve customers.


And I wasn't talking about that scene! :bored:

I'm loving this discussion.:D You see if you go to an icecream parlour, what do you expect to see? A man selling coffee?

And anywayz i reitarate, the movie is based on actual events, so the nude scenes must be one of them.
