Stylish but barely mediocre overall
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreGranted that I had little expectations for "211" from writer and director York Alec Shackleton when I sat down to watch it. Why? Well, solely because this was just screaming to be another Nicolas Cage movie.So was it? Both yes and no. Yes, in the sense that he trotted on with his usual stumped performance with just a single grimace throughout the entire movie. No, because the storyline sort of veered from the usual stuff that he participates in.Was it a good movie? Nah, it was adequate, albeit quite generic. The storyline had its moments, not many, but it had them. But for a bank heist movie, then it offered very little to the cinematic experience that haven't already been seen in other bank heist movies.The dialogue in the movie was good, and the characters were good, which definitely worked in favor of the movie. However, some of the things that the bank robbers were doing just made so little sense, especially since they were supposed to be highly trained military people.All in all, an adequately entertaining movie that will suffice if you have nothing more pressing on the to-watch-list. But this is hardly a movie that you will be returning to watch a second time around.
View MoreA dreadful film, nothing redeeming at all. Very poor acting from everyone involved. Weak story that drags and drags. Cage has made some good and entertaining movies over the years but not for a very long time.
View MoreAll that bloodshed for a little over a million dollars? That's just wrong. Acting was pretty terrible too.
View MoreEverything was good Until the End. Felt that ending was little stupid specially when they cameout with Guns Blazing. And with A ending like this You can't except more.
