[MACHINE5150]

anyone see this yet, i was thinking of going to watch it tomorrow, has a good cast, just curious if any of you have seen it and what you thought of it..

[stack_it]

What movie is that? Is it in theaters or something.

[MACHINE5150]

I've never heard of it.

It's got Jim Sturgess, Colin Farrell, Ed Harris, Saoirse Ronan, Mark Strong in it.. based on a true story.. it just came out last week here, but usually movies come to theater's here a few months/weeks after they have already been in the States.

here is the summary:
Based on a true story, this centres on seven prisoners confined in the most terrible of prisons - a Siberian gulag. A daring escape leads to a race against their relentless pursuers, as the escapees deal with sub-zero temperatures, sandstorms and eventually a trek over the Himalayas. It's either make it to India or die trying. With Jim Sturgess, Colin Farrell and Ed Harris leading the cast, this boasts some big-hitters giving big performances, ably supported by the sensational Saoirse Ronan as a young woman who crosses their path and proves more valuable than expected.

yeah i agree with that... except for Anthony Hopkins.. he has never been in a bad movie.. or Morgan Freeman, but pretty much every other actor has been in a few flops..

Must not be getting released in my market area. Seems like it's got a decent cast. The story sounds like it will either be really good or really bad tho.

yeah, and it is almost 2.5 hours long... that's why i was hoping that someone on here would have seen it and save me the 10.50 euro and time in case it is bad.. I am suprised that it wasn't out in the states, it must be a UK company that made it or something then, because usually it is the other way around..

If it didnt hit the states first I would say save your money. Or you could probably down load it.

Never heard of this either. And like drdeath said a good cast doesn't mean anything. Such as Ghost Rider, Blade Trinity and Spider-Man 3. Yeah all superhero movies but I am a big nerd.

thats not necesarilly true.. there are a lot of good movies that never made it to the states.. Green Street, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, In Bruge, In the Name of the Father.. just to name a few.. sure a couple of those have to either deal with the troubles or soccer, but still great films..

this flick doesn't come out in the States until Jan 21st..

anyways, i tried downloading it twice last night and think i got a damn virus now so i decided to just go check it out..it is a great flick. long and sad but good.. kind of reminds me of the movie "Defiance" with out the shooting.. i recomend you go see it..

here's the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87kezJTpyMI
