| | Look at me Dot 04/20/2010 | | I loved Helen Mirren in this movie. She was bold and exquisite in her attitude. She captivated me, I could not stop watching this movie. As bazarr as it was. I loved everything about Helen Mirren. I loved the clothes she wore. The way she walked and the way she tipped away like a femme fatale, secretly meeting her lover. Her lover in that same old stale brown suit, day after day. Her husband so obscene in his lack of class and manners during dinner. I wish this movie would come on cable. I have been awaiting to see it, but nothing. So I am renting it from the County Library. This is a must see! Fabulous! Brilliant and funny! Bravo to Helen Mirren! |

| | Awesome Movie | KyTrish57 01/29/2011 | | This is a must see movie if you want old fashioned action with a great cast. I have always loved Bruce Willis and teamed up with Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, and John Malkovitch was brilliant. I saw this at the movie theater when it first came out and bought the DVD and have watched it at least 10 times since. I never get tired of seeing the performance of all of these fine actors. Whoever thought of this idea for a movie and casting it should be given a medal. With all the stupid movies there are today, this one stands out as good fun, good action and will make you cheering on the team. As Morgan Freeman says in the movie, "We got the band back together" they sure did and it's fantastic |

| | Heartbreaking and breathtaking | CounselorTroi 09/09/2012 | | I happened on this movie by accident one day while flipping through the channels and I got so caught up in it I couldn't tear myself away. From the sweet, raw emotional moments between Mr and Mrs Stone to the scenes of agitation and passion between she and her lover, this movie was an emotional roller coaster. Helen Mirren makes the film, so real, so masterfully played that you just ache with understanding for her struggle. Not much gets me anymore, but this one really got under my skin. Fantastic and raw in intensity. |
