Linewatch (2008)
9/10
well-crafted, well-acted and produced pleasure to watch
22 October 2008
This well-crafted movie was a quality, well-acted and produced pleasure to watch. The fantastic photography was an extra treat. I expected a "B" move or a political propaganda piece. Instead I found the dialog realistic, sophisticated, and hard-hitting. The acting acting was superb. This is a dark and serious movie, for MATURE movie viewers only. If you want a cutsie, wise-cracking, unrealistic funny movie, this is NOT it.

I gave this movie 9 stars because it blends my 2 favorite themes: redemptive and vigilante. This movie is NOT for kids, but unlike most movies, it promotes solid "family" values.

9/10
the most mature, sophisticated comedic screenplay I have ever seen
22 October 2008
If you love shallow, cutsie, romantic comedies, you won't like this one. I was pleasantly surprised by this romantic comedy that was absolutely impossible to predict. The acting is outstanding (especially the lead), and the dialog is absolutely brilliant. This is the most mature, sophisticated screenplay in a comedy I have ever seen. Deep, realistic, emotional, witty, fresh, creative, never cliché, .... I cannot say enough good things about this movie! This movie is not for kids because of the realistic portrayal of mature subject matter (sex, drugs, drinking, smoking, cursing, etc.) However, this movie does NOT preach the usual abhorrent Hollywood values, but instead had a positive and redemptive message IMO.
