I love this movie so much
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
View MoreQuote "What's wrong with you? You seemed to have swallowed a large poisonous insect?" Quote 2 "I've been drugged, kidnapped and driven through the desert in the trunk of a "beeping" rental car and forced to watch you blow two men apart. The last part I am willing to forgive. But I will not have you call me baby!"Can anyone believe that this was made in 2003??? The script is just too stupid to believe Gary Oldman and Ving Rhames said yes without a gun to their heads.Direction issues.. Sister has overdosed and magically this women who only knew she was in trouble turns to the graveyard to help save her?Bill Sage looks more like a porn star than a police officer and the porn star in the early scene looked more like the town drunk than a porn star.Then hero Ving Rhames catches one of the men who raped his sister and beats him up then the police sirens are in the background suggesting they are coming. The bad guy says "diplomatic immunity" and instead of running away the hero shoots him dead. It is worth watching cause frankly it's impossible to believe they allowed it to be released. The writers are probably working for CSI series now!
View MoreIts a wee bit of a shame. The whole film had a terrific idea to it and I liked the twist in the plot on why Charlie Strom (Gary Oldman) was after Eddie Burns (Ving Rhames) and we see a side to Charlie of being a tortured soul out for revenge rather than a villain (this is not an excuse on the things he did to Burns' sister but it was still a nice touch). The whole thing though was flat and a wee bit too predictable.The only actor who stood out was Gary Oldman (who was the only reason I watched this film- otherwise I wouldnt have bothered!) Ill watch it again but only because Gary does a good part in it..... and nothing else. 6/10
View MoreThere were way too many holes in the plot to make this movie worth watching for everyone that likes the actors or genre. The only reason I watched the entire movie was because, as a woman, seeing the massive revenge against rapists was very satisfying. One of those rare moments in which the woman isn't continually re-victimized. I thought Oldman's performance was a little more natural than that of Rhames, but his was still decent. I can't say all women would gain anything by seeing rapists tortured. It's dicey. I gave it a 3 out of 10. My feeling is that veterans such as Rhames and Oldman should have seen all of the mistakes in dialog and plot consistency and maybe passed on it altogether. If you're up and bored in the middle of the night while it's on a movie channel, you might as well watch it.
View MoreI've been watching this stupid movie for an hour and boy does it suck! Rhames just saved a woman from a fate worse than death and she had a hissy because he called her "baby". That's just an example of one in a long string of stupid moments in this unninspired, unoriginal amateurish junk flick. If it gets better, I'll let you know before posting this comment. Otherwise, just pass on "Sin". (C-)
