Bruce Willis

Kane & Lynch movie postponed for an important reason

The Kane & Lynch video game franchise may not be an epic hit like Resident Evil, Tomb Raider or Dead Space, but that isn’t preventing Hollywood from turning it into a movie.  Last we heard about the film exploits of Kane & Lynch, acclaimed actors Bruce Willis and Jaime Foxx were set to star in the film.  Willis was set to portray the former mercenary Kane while in a surprise casting choice Jaime Foxx was set to don the bifocals of the mentally ill Lynch.  The stars were set but the key position of who would be directing the movie remained untapped and that’s still the

An update on the Kane & Lynch movie

So far the Kane & Lynch film, yes there is one planned, has the actors playing the titular characters locked in.  Movie veteran Bruce Willis will be playing Kane while Jaime Foxx is surprisingly playing Lynch, which if you’re familiar with the game is a huge departure for the character.  

A casting update on the Kane & Lynch movie (you really need to read this)

At this point I think we can just drop all hope that films based on video games will be good. Hollywood now has its bulls eye of creative bankruptcy on Kane & Lynch, which itself could work well as a film.  For a long time actor Bruce Willis has been rumored/attached to play Kane while names like Mickey Rourke and Billy Bob Thornton have popped up for Lynch.

Surrogates is the latest big sci-fi film that fails to impress

Overall Feeling: 

You can't help but feel disappointed after seeing Surrogates. The movie has an amazing concept that is never fully realized as the story bounces from one plot to the next at breakneck speed due to the short running time. The movie never expands upon the core question it brings up and lacks any sort of visual or action appeal to make up for the poor script and plot. If you're bored in a few months and want something to rent then the movie is perfect since it's a brain dead sci-fi film that could've used an additional 30 minutes to flesh things out.

The Pros: 

Bruce Willis turns in an ok performance. A few scenes have nice framing that helps set the mood and make the film look visually appealing for a few seconds before returning to mediocrity. Radha Mitchell and Rosamund Pike are nice to look at.

The Cons: 

Story is completely unrealized on all fronts to the point where it's almost offensive. The film lacks any character in the action, design and sci-fi department which makes it boring to watch and sit through.
