| 1:31 | Denzel and Marky Mark. This can only be good. |
| 6:31 | Eww, so he really was sitting there. Of a fashion. |
| 10:40 | Marky Mark less attractive when he's killing chickens. |
| 16:57 | "I really meant to love you." |
| 28:57 | That's got to be a low point, being shot and left out in the desert. |
| 31:39 | I can't be sure but I think their names are Bobby Beans and Stig. That's a kid's TV show, right there. |
| 34:23 | Jeez, the Navy has gone rogue. |
| 40:04 | Russian Roulette is the worst. |
| 40:37 | Also, the poor innocent people are really not doing well so far. |
| 42:39 | "So shoot me... again." |
| 55:55 | They're awesome fighters, but not each other! |
| 59:43 | Loving the motion-sensor lights. Kinda takes the threatening edge off. |
| 1:05:37 | Aaand, we're back with the chickens. |
| 1:08:56 | It's fun that he keeps saying 43.125 million. So specific. |
| 1:13:10 | "You know, for a car thief, you sure are particular." |
| 1:24:12 | Never thought I'd say this but locking himself in the fridge was genius. |
| 1:28:10 | I think there is a code. |
| 1:32:42 | I don't get how this guy can be CIA. He's so non-Hollywood CIA-ish. |
| 1:35:07 | Exploding money is much like the Crystal Dome. |
| 1:40:15 | It's amazing how many diners are opposite banks, really. |
Thoughts
Saw the trailer for this a while back, and knew it was going to be high up on our To Watch list. Marky Mark and Denzel in the same film at the same time, doing a mismatched duo thing? Sign me up and then some!
A really good adventure, and a fascinating partnership between the two main guys. It wasn't a top five sort of film, but I still really enjoyed it. I guess there were a few too many factions, and we've established that I struggle when there are too many sides to a story! The beginning also confused me, with the slight jump back in time, for a minute I was worried it was going to go all Memento, but it didn't. Overall, very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.
