Pure Action Movies review Give em Hell Malone
Pure Action Movies always has time for something different unfortunately Give em Hell Malone fails to live up to the mark, if your going to recreate a pulp film noir action hero in the vain of Mike Hammer or Sam Spade at least cast the right actor, Thomas Jane just doesnt cut it for me hes too wooden.
Another thing that bugged me was the villians, ripping of Sin City and Dark Knight especially the later with a very bad imitation of Heath Ledger’s Joker was insulting to watch and Ving Rhames looked as bored as he did in the Tournament.
The first ten minutes of the movie are good, plenty of action and well paced but after that it died bigtime and went straight to chimp screenplay. Using wirework to control falls may work for high falls but look shoddy in my opinion when done from say ten feet.
Its hard to pin down what this movie is supposed to be. Is it a film noir or a spoof it really is hard to tell and this does detract from it, and the ending makes no sense whatsoever only that there might be a sequel. Hopefully someone will make a fanedit and it will make it more enjoyable.
Sopme people will compare it to Sin City or Shoot em up, Let me tell you it is not. Very disappointing.
