With no expectations or even a clear idea of the plot, Lisa and I watched "Knowing" last night and were both pleasantly surprised. For the first time Nicholas Cage actually did an action thriller movie without attempting any corny humor. In fact, the refreshing thing about this movie was it contained absolutely no humor at all (that I can remember) and was intense 60% of the time without getting boring. Definitely a departure from his last few years of cheesy lines. It also had the best plane crash scene of any movie hands down, the best part being it's completely unexpected. Hopefully that doesn't ruin it for you, as I now command everyone to go watch it. For the best effect, read nothing about it. Thanks to bad reviews you shouldn't have trouble finding a seat either.

Cool.. we were wondering about this before going. Since it has a Brad rating positive.. we may go see it. I was also pleasantly surpised that they did NOT botch up F&F4. It was really good. I recommend it for anyone who liked the first one. Excelcier |
I hated the first one, it ruined so many kids perspectives on cars and brought over the whole ricer demographic in the US. Hell it even ruined the new knight rider! arggggg Stavos |
Now, "Fanboys" will rule them all if we can find a bloody place that movie is playing?!?! ARgh.. I must see it... Excelcier |
