I 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's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreAn environmentalist group leader Alexander Scott(Stephen Baldwin)is jailed as a suspect of bombing a chemical plant. But while behind bars, bombings continue. Then suspicion turns to another member of the group, Jeremy O'Brien(D.B. Sweeney). ATF team members Tom Bradshaw(Tom Skerritt)and Ashley Pryor(Kelly Rowan) take Scott's voluntary help to track down his loose cannon comrade O'Brien. Seattle makes for a large hunting ground for an insane, ruthless megalomaniac. Pretty ho-hum fare until the final fifteen tense minutes. Supporting cast includes: Alan C. Peterson, John Bachelder, Sarah Richardson and Nels Lennarson. Veteran Skerritt along with Sweeney seem to be the only talent here. Maybe this is why GREENMAIL is looked over at the video store.
View MoreJust another average(made for TV) movie with Stephen Baldwin(as we expect from him)It has some nice explosions but overall its a bit shallow. The acting is just above average(although its clearly they all did it for the cash only). the story is not really exciting and has no surprises(yeah, all the clichés off bombing movies are in it). i must say i've seen much better(backdraft) but also much worse(ticker).The directing is just very average but for a B movie good enough! They picked some nice areas to film(I think it's filmed in Canada) So if you ain't got nottin to do and it's on TV you could give it a try!! But only if you have really nottin to do,OK!!
View MoreAs a card-carrying member of a half-dozen or more environmental groups, I was attracted to `Greenmail's' advertised plot about the mismatched union of an activist and an ATF agent to stop an environmentalist gone over the edge into a spree of fatal bombings.Alas, the environmental angle is nothing more than an excuse for a very standard genre thriller where the villain blows up a lot of people. Even the potentially interesting Seattle setting (actually, the ever-popular Vancouver, save for a few establishing shots) is not utilized to any particular advantage.The competent cast does what it can with a basically uninteresting script and surprisingly languid direction. What suspense there is consists of far too many scenes of people hesitantly snipping wires on bombs which either blow up or do not with fair predictability.Too bad. There was the opportunity for some genuine ideological conflict between the two main protagonists and a more thoughtful motivation for the cardboard villain. The one very minor plot twist is reduced to a simple throwaway line because we really don't know much about why the characters do what they do to their friends or to others.
View MoreShallow and stupid movie with multitude of semantic mistakes by director/producer. While seeing I laughed many times, especially near to its end and I'm sure that specialists would treat this movie like a comedy from the beginning. I recommend you not to rent/buy this movie - better give charity to a poor :)
