One tough dude
This is a great film with a bad guy that you root for from start to finish. Action packed, and very smart. Great cast too!

A good cast makes a good film
This is dark yet amusing film about a thug looking for revenge on his partner that double crossed him. He wants revenge but most of all he wants his 70k that was taken from him. His quest brings, the mob, the man who wanted to kill him, and the people who he stole the money from in the first place all after him.

It really isn't much of a plot but it is brimming with first rate performances from Mel Gibson all the way down to William Devane to John Glover. (Note to the Star Wars franchise: Great acting can overcome a mediocre plot, but Bad acting can't save a good one).

This movie isn't great but it's not only good but it's good the 2nd 3rd and the fourth time. Lucy Liu's fatso line is worth the price of the picture alone.

Definitely a keeper.

"Ain't that a kick in the head!"
Meet Porter. He's having a bad day. His own buddy scamed him, his grilfriend sold him out, he got beat up and left for dead. Who says that nice guys finish last? Not this one. Finally, a movie where Mel Gibson is the bad guy. But he's a really good bad guy, if you know what I mean. It's a powerhouse of a movie that is about one thing:revenge. But not just some pithy little sour note. No. This movie is a kick in the face right off the bat. There's humor, action, crime, drama, and it's based on the novel "THE HUNTER."

When I saw this, I thought it would be totally different than what I expected. But it has a snazzy way of introducing it's plot. There's betrayal, mixed in with a little film noir, smothered in high tycoons and henchmen, not to mention the chinese mob, and a little dash of the porter attitude. Don't get him wrong. Porter used to be a really nice guy, really good criminal too. But now, he's become a force that no one wants to mess with. There are just so many things that make this movie good. Snappy lines, cool suits, flawed characters, the works. And in a movie of this magatude; you gotta have the works, buddy. Enjoy!
