I think the premise of this movie is exactly how Liam and his agent interact. He gets a call on his phone that tells him to do something ridiculous, and he just goes with it.
By now all the scripts his agent get sent have the same plot and main character so the only relevant questions when choosing movies to do is "how long will filming be" and "how much"
We saw this one a few weeks ago as part of the Regal Monday Mystery movie. A lot of people walked out. We stayed thinking it would get better... we were wrong 😂
I laughed so hard at the villain being revealed and the way the whole thing wrapped up. They really didn't care about making something coherent or even entertaining.
but ya know with all the negativity out there, it sure is nice that stuckmann says nice things about movies that already get good reviews. such bravery to enjoy mainstream and critically acclaimed films.
@@austindolan7182 you do realize that he has explicitly said that he’s not gonna review movies that he doesn’t like. So now it is on you to do your own research and look back at all the movies that I’ve come out and see which ones he didn’t review to give you an idea as to the ones he didn’t like. Not everyone has to like the movies you do or dislike the ones you do.
I'm in a conundrum. On one hand I kind of hope Hollywood keeps giving out garbage movies because Jeremy's reviews always get funnier when he has to suffer through trash for our benefit. But on the other hand I don't want him going insane or becoming an alcoholic
Yeah but (haven’t seen it since I was a kid on Vhs) didn’t the slipper fall off because she was running?? I lost a well fitting shoe once escaping a field party in high school. I get get the joke here but it was a slipper.
"The kids are fine line" 😅That fits perfectly for such a character! A man so...disconnected - and self-absorbed - he cannot tell the difference between 'fine' and 'in danger,' anymore than he can remember his kids names most probably...😉a caricature!
It’s so weird to me that Liam Neeson - the star of huge films like Schindler’s List, Michael Collins, Rob Roy, The Phantom Menace, Love Actually and Darkman - has now somehow relegated himself to playing parodies of himself from Taken.
@@1997residente He was a very good actor. And still is - he sometimes does low budget stuff in the UK, and has a real low-key, heartfelt presence. But his action persona movies are, indeed, dogshit.
These are paycheck movies. The ones actors do for the money to pay the bills and cash flow their lifestyle while they do the small, meaningful projects that dont pay well.
If you're interested in the answer to the Cinderella thing: in the fairy tale, the prince tries to stop her from vanishing night after night by covering a step on the castle stairs in pitch, on which the shoe gets stuck. I guess this doesn't happen in the Disney version? It's been a long time since I've seen it.
The whole bit about the car being sideways and the pressure plate bomb not going off because the writers don’t know how weight works made me laugh so hard I cried. Just…did no one proofread the script? That sounds like an error you would make in the first draft, and that made it into the final cut. Wow. Unbelievable.
Why do the producers thought they need more of these Liam Neeson-on-the-phone-peril movies after Non-Stop? The actor has much more potential than being typecasted as such...
The positives about this movie is that we get to enjoy You, Jeremy entertain us with a review like this. The highlight of my Friday. Thank you for that.
This review made me wish we could spam the like button on your vids. The obvious why did that cop not go after the “guy” or the car is on its side and the bomb did not go off. Sooo many movies/tv shows do this and it really annoys me. 🙄 love your stuff Jeremy. 👍🏻 Keep it up.
Ngl, I miss having frequent reviews of Jeremy on my feed. This man has single-handedly kept me sane during long working hours over the last decade-ish. GOATed Movieman
Your rating for this movie was unexpected, priceless and hillarious altogether, and it made me genuinely laugh out loud! Never change XD Also please review Oldboy with the 4K remaster:’)
I love that line about Cinderella ( from this review , not seeing the movie) “ If the shoe fit so well, why did it fall off” , not 100 % sure why , but it made me think of another line , I recently heard on a episode of Father Brown , where a police officer told the want to be detective priest to leave the sleuthing to the professionals, too which Father Brown responded…”Professionals built the Titanic, a amateur built the Ark” 🖖🏾
I was hoping this film would rely on his world class acting chops and not his action chops which never a thing. I'm still probably going to see it. With AMC movie pass being a subscription based service I'm seeing a lot of stuff that I would have passed on before. It even works out sometimes
Writing this before I even watched JJ's review. I saw a whiskey glass and that look on his face on the thumbnail....I know this gonna be good. God I love this channel.
I once wrote a movie script about a retired CIA agent whose daughter got kipnapped in France, but it turned out that script was taken. 😕 I wrote another movie script about that same CIA agent who got kipnapped in Istanbul, but it turned out that script was taken too... 😕
Liam Neeson is really out here still riding that Taken train 15 years later! Don't get me wrong I have fun with a lot of his mid-budget thrillers, but this one is such a hollow and forgettable attempt at one of those. 90 minutes of my life that I'll never get back...
It wasn't that the shoe fit her well, its that she had such abnormally small feet that the shoe was too tiny for anyone else to fit, yet it was falling off Cinderella's feet. Hense why her step-sisters had their heels and toes chopped off to try to fit in the small shoe while it was literally falling off Cinderella's extra tiny feet.
i've definitely seen this movie a few times before. specifically, that phone call while he's driving reminds me of a movie called "the ticking man" that i saw in 2001 at a film festival in palm springs. except in this one, instead of the bomb being in the car, it was surgically implanted inside of the man's torso while he was asleep! 😆 while i can't imagine it being better, it at least had that ultra-low-budget thing going for it.
1:56 "Sometimes, the movie reminded me of another movie that it pulled from that did it better." That line slayed me. The one good thing he could think about to say about the film.
Fact: There are three adaptations of this movie that was based off. One the original comes from Spain for almost a decade ago and it's the same title in the Spanish language. The second is couple of years ago that comes from Korea called "Hard Hit." And finally the third one comes from Germany, also came out couple of years ago titled "Don't! Get! Out!"
I was looking at the comment section to see if somebody had said this! I really like the original spanish movie, it has great tension... this seems just like another hollywood movie trying to replicate something successful, but missing what made the original a good movie in the first place
Jeremy's reviews are always entertaining, but this one especially kept getting progressively funnier through to the end ("So 'Barbie', have you seen it?" was the icing on the cake) 😆.
6:39 In the Grimm brothers version of Cinderella, the prince actually lays out tar on the front steps of the ball so that he can catch Cinderella before she runs off, but her slipper gets stuck and that's how her slipper fell off. Note: the ball actually occurs over three nights, the prince falls in love with Cinderella each night before she runs off, and on the third night he plans to catch her with the tar on the steps. ........Just thought it was worth mentioning
Who would have thought that in a summer season with the Flash Indiana Jones 5 a generic Thriller with Liam Neeson driving a bomb on a car would be the one to Break Jeremy.
Didn't even know about this one though it's amazing that Hollywood could make phonebooth in a car more boring than it sounds. I feel a straight up adaptation of Blinddrive in which you literally don't see anything would have been more fun/interesting than anything Jeremy attempts to describe here.
Another Liam Neeson movie for my dad to watch and then watch again in a month with no memory of having watched it before. Ironically, the last time he did that was for the Liam Neeson film Memory. I’m not joking.
Think of just how many of them are striking, and this movie, of ALLLLLLL the things that have been written by those same crowds, was amongst the cream that rose to the top.
When I first saw the trailer for this film the first thing that came to mind, as it related to the core theme of this film, was a social experiment. Hopefully, the film won't be that bad when I watch it.
Answer to ur Cinderella stuck slipper dilema.... A slipper can fit perfectly when initially put on but when human feet sweat (a glass slipper is equivalent to a shoe with no socks on or if Cinderella is nervous people develop perspiration)... the moisture will build up allowing the slipper to fall off.
