Such an amazing movie. It breaks my heart it's being overlooked as far as awards nominations are concerned. The whole cast was exceptional, but Nolte was without a doubt Oscar-worthy.
"Better the devil you know" is one of the oldest expressions around. I love it when hollywood takes something as old as god's dog, dresses it up and everyone wets their pants over it.
Isn't it the same for all media and art? What the previous generation knows and what the present and learned generation knows isn't the same for what the 'ordinary' person knows. To try to tell/rejuvenate a tale or moral in a way for newer audience to understand is important.
At least the film handled it in the right way. It's precisely the kind of expression Nolte's character (his generation and his background) would have known and used. It's clear in that scene that he's using it as an old expression, he starts out saying "The devil you know," and leaves it as that before reciting the whole thing when Tommy misses it.
I realized Joel is about the same size as Bane! Weird, huh? But since Tom is smaller he's about Joel's size after his weight gain for The Dark Knight Rises, but Tom still looks buff! Ain't gonna deny that!
@SuperSlyTime It was Layer Cake. A fav of mine...then again, I honestly, can't remember. May have been sooner than that because I'm a huge fan of British film. :)
Том и Джоэл очень хорошо сыграли в этом фильме. Фильм пересматриваю, но очень редко. В конце фильма очень жалко Тома. Очень хотела чтобы он победил. Но... ❤❤❤
i think that after this movie one nobody will want to fight them and if they do they'll probobly win from all of the training they've gone through, plus tom Pplayed bayne and nowbody wants to fight him
this movie was awesome it probably best mma movie next to never back down & the actin was on point the emotion and pain the "brothers" qo thru to prove to eachother who's better then who & eh the endin wasnt tha happy about it i would have like to see how brandon would have wasted the 5 million dollars:(
@sianwuvsyou He has always sounded like that...but watching this video, you realise, the blender is running a bit slower these days with a bit more metal.
I know exactly what you mean!!! it's like...what? they're british..or australian? They pull off the "american" accent well...lol..guess that's why they're actors
I keep wondering why: 1. The wife has to have a whole conversation in her pantys 2. Tommy tries to make facial expressions like Rocky Balboa 3.Nick Nolte is playing himself in the movie
you mean because tom is british and joel is australian, well that doesnt make sense because everybody has an accent !!!!!!!!!!! omg some americans are just sooooooo aarrrrgggg WOW words cant describe
