    Well they were going off a real life incident, so there wasn't going to be some big shootout or anything. I really enjoyed the movie, though was kinda bummed at how they watered down his career as a mule, since the real guy had been doing it for over a decade, becoming kind of a cartel tall tale,  while the movie has him doing the job for maybe a little over a year.

    The real story is very interesting. This movie didn't capture even half of it. If Andy Garcia is supposed to be El Chapo....that part in the movie is all nonsense. The ending just sucks. It's just over and the boring music plays.

    Thank gawd I didn't spend money on this one. I had company Christmas gift passes. I still wish that The Favorite had been playing at this particular theater so I could have been spared the frustration of The Mule!

    The cast isn't the issue...the performances are great. The pace is fine. It's the buildup...then one of the biggest letdowns I've experienced in years! It's also frustrating how many characters are introduced and stories points started with no resolution whatsoever.

    I don't know why but I can't turn away from this movie when I flip through channels on cable!! Scarlet's character is baffling. The couple dynamic between Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Connellly is facinating. I just don't know any people like them since they are both nuts. Drew Barrymore is the cutest, funniest person in the movie & she's got like 6 minutes of screentime total. I really love Justin Long & Ginnifer Goodwin and would have been very satisfied if the movie had just been about them! Oh year....almost forgot Jennifer Aniston & Ben Affleck are also in the movie. Another couple who should have had their own movie.

    It's so twisted! Wouldn't it be incest, pedophile, alien sex though? Its barely a teenaged child/alien. They call it their daughter.....eww....this just gets worse by the second!

    The really crazy thing to think about is that this movie, with it's godawful effects, came out the same year as Terminator. And, according to the internets, it cost TWICE as much to make.

     

    That's completely insane! The effects are absolutely embarrassing.

    I just wasted my morning watching this shit and I want to die!

     

    It's fucking 2 hrs and 5 minutes! Too damn long.

    Even the trailer clocks in at 2 mins and 35 seconds!

     

     

    I guess I wanted to see this because of Helen Hunt. I loved her in What Women Want which is also from 2000. It wasn't a great movie either, but infinitely more watchable than this mess!!

    You get the feeling that she's playing the same character at first, but she takes a cold turn later which is very confusing.

     

    Plus, this is supposed to be prime Richard Gere. Runaway Bride was right before in 1999. Unfaithful would be 2002. I didn't hate Autumn in New York or Mothman Prophecies which are mashed in between. WTF with this movie!

     

    This whole movie has no point, makes no sense. Just scene after scene of all the same blabbing cows in Dr. T's office talking, talking, talking!

     

    Robert Altman directed. This is no Short Cuts. Anne Rapp wrote it. Her IMDB only has 4 credits..the latest showing no dates..just (????) Not a good sign. Wikipedia was more clear. Her career was mostly as a script supervision & she has worked on more than 50 films including Cookie's Fortune and won an Independant Spirit award. Whatever, this movie sucks ass.

     

    What I really don't get is the cast! How could all of these actresses have read this script and been excited to jump on board for this crap?!

    Helen Hunt

    Farrah Fawcett (the saddest role ever)

    Laura Dern (wtf)

    Shelley Long

    Tara Reid

    Kate Hudson

    Liv Tyler

    Janine Turner

     

    Then finally this interminable bloated mess ends and all you want to do is throw something at the TV! For all this time wasted...we can't get a classic Richard Gere ending! Fuck you Robert Altman..and Ann Rapp.

    Oh yeah..it's time to do this shit show!!

     

    It was on cable last night. I can't believe I'd never seen this movie!

    I can't believe this cast:

    Dennis Quaid

    Max von Sydow

    Christopher Plummer

    Eddie Albert

    Kate Capshaw

     

    What the hell did all these people think they were signing on for?

    The effects were so fucking bonkers. Just wow!

    It's bizarre that Amy and Paul have a discussion about meritorious films from 1984 without mentioning Beverly Hills Cop.

     

    But I completely agree with Paul that Neverending Story is an absurd selection for the Canon.

     

    It is absurd! I love the Neverending Story, but its a hard NO for the Canon from me.

     

    It was interesting to hear the comedy argument from Paul. When I think of 1984 comedies I think of Splash & Romancing the Stone. Now, I love these to death but I don't know if I'd nominate them for the Canon. Ghostbusters would definitely be my pick for the Canon.

    The Syfy Matrix marathon is on now and I'm cringe watching it now.

     

    Ick is mostly what I have to say at the moment. RELOADED is what I'm on now. The first one I can tolerate, but it doesn't really hold up over time.

     

    This Reloaded mess has always confused me. I cannot stress enough how much I hate the city of ZION. From the moment they get "home" I can't say how disappointed I have always been in this hot looking rock & metal city. It's a mess. The dance sequence is gross with like a 1000 sweaty bodies at the weirdest rave I've even seen!

    I want so badly to hear June's take on this scene!!

     

    The sex is so basic I don't think Jason would give it a pass.

     

    The action sequences and Keanu, Carrie Ann Moss & Hugo Weaving are the only reason I'm watching this again.

    I own this movie! I love this movie!

    Just googling this movie is facinating!

    Everyone up in arms about the Secret Dwarf Whore or eastern european schizophrenic dwarf whore.

    Then some articles had to correct things because they incorrectly said Esther was a prostitute.

    Then all the drama about adoption advocates encouraging a boycott!

     

    My only disappointment with the actual movie is the part of the husband! Come on!

    This is a movie that should have had 3 alternate endings on the dvd.
