Riki-Oh - 6/10

Why is low-budget gore so much more horrifying?

Fighting - 4/10

It's about... well... fighting. So we have our premise. That being said, there's not much fighting, and the fights that do happen aren't much of anything. Channing Tatum keeps getting work (his best role was in Recognizing Your Saints) and Terrence Howard, along with the rest of the cast, don't accomplish much of anything in terms of convincing acting. There was little-to-no chemistry in the love story but they build it up like it's important to plot and character development, though it's not. So I began making parody trailers in my head for fun.

Starts out as a terrific study of various people in a small Alaska town and a subtle criticism of commercialism...then takes a major turn in the second half, becoming a completely different, and less satisfying, film.
...with a strange ending...

True Romance (Tony Scott) - 6/10

In the hands of a better director and cut to reflect Tarantino's original sequencing, this film would be much better.

Duplicity (Gilroy) - 8/10

Yeah. It's all surfaces. The two leads are fine if not sizzling. And it hides its emotional center a bit too much, and by the end it's a cynical (if dead-on) cop-out. But Duplicity is the kind of lark we don't see too often and it's intoxicating on many different levels. Much better than Michael Clayton. No justice if no nod for James Newton Howard's score.
