Stone
Directed by John Curran
ehhhhhhhhh no haldukken that's for sure.
Not a bad movie to see, so if you got free time during your lunch break then check it out.
I don't think Norton should have tried to play as a spanish person. This was kind of the same thing with Brooklyn's Finest - you got a white guy (Edward Norton) and you are trying to sell him as a Puerto Rican (or something - never was made real clear) and it just didn't work. I am the type of person who will read a book and then people are like - yea i liked that metaphor with the ocean as the location ! and i would be like ... didn't notice it, but i agree now that you bring it up.
My point is - i don't get what the purpose of him being spanish was? Maybe to be diverse? but if you want to be diverse, then why not hire a spanish actor? Norton trying to play a spanish thug took me out of the movie right away.
The character that Norton played was an interesting character, but I felt like sometimes he knew where he was coming from.. and sometimes he was just regurgitating lines. EXACT same goes for Di Niro ... actually I felt like Di Niro was just saying lines for the majority of the film.
There were way too many loop holes and the acting was not up to par. Good story, good characters, nice shots, interesting content ... just wasn't put together all so well - sorry guys, better luck next time.
