Mark Strong’s work as Hani, head of Jordanian Intelligence, is so impressive that I would imagine you’ll see him show up in approximately 134 films produced between 2010 and 2012. He’s “that guy,” starting now."Mooshkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04756575398525781044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-24275662877602778462008-10-08T11:53:00.000-07:002008-10-08T11:53:00.000-07:00mookshi, yeh, he's got that something something going on alright! I saw him coming out of the gym near my work in The City one day, but he's so tall and I'm so short, I couldn't catch up with him to say hello..<BR/><BR/>His TV stuff is also aweseome - came to attention in UK with Daniel Craig in Our Friends in the North, but my favorites with him in are The Long Firm (he plays a gay gangster called Harry and is obscenely brilliant in the role); and The Jury (with Gerard Butler) where he plays a jealous psycho husband to Helen McCrory (another blindingly good, underrated UK actress)Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16311671656579150167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-39108608066433595722008-10-08T11:06:00.000-07:002008-10-08T11:06:00.000-07:00Ha, Adrian, it ain't easy. Monday night I had to beg my brother to walk and hang out with my dog so I could go to this. :)<BR/><BR/>K, I was going to link to some pictures of him, but none of them do him justice. I think it's partly his charisma and the way he moves that makes him so hot.Mooshkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04756575398525781044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-14123775037566221502008-10-08T10:36:00.000-07:002008-10-08T10:36:00.000-07:00Mark Strong is that particular actor who always catches the eye, no matter how bad the actual film, or how good those around him may be. I'd pay money to watch him open an envelope, he's that good.<BR/><BR/>Try and catch him as Archie in Rocknrolla, or indulging in torture in Syriana.Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16311671656579150167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-18731835196689167462008-10-08T10:34:00.000-07:002008-10-08T10:34:00.000-07:00Mooshki--you get an AAAAA+++++ for<BR/>that teriffic review--but tell me--when do you have time to go to the movies?not a famous adrianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15353788038996844317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-71024261495048082292008-10-08T10:19:00.000-07:002008-10-08T10:19:00.000-07:00omg, me too, moooshki. good violence is wasted on me...lol.Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01812795614613905032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-10944249237701868452008-10-08T10:10:00.000-07:002008-10-08T10:10:00.000-07:00Molly, I also cover my eyes during the bad parts.

This was a hard one to write because it was so complicated, and I wasn't sure how I felt about the movie afterward. <BR/><BR/>"student discount brings it down to $5.50"<BR/><BR/>Ha! So it fits just right into my recommendation, that's pretty funny. And don't worry, Hani will be worth every single penny. (It was funny, it kept sounding like Leo was calling him "Honey," and I didn't blame him. :) )<BR/><BR/>Rebecca, don't worry, no texting. One of the points of the movie is that anything sent electronically can be monitored. (There were a couple of times I felt like they'd switched reels and we were watching "Eagle Eye.")<BR/><BR/>Another interesting thing - they were back to two security guards and a cursory bag check. I am now 100% sure that they were afraid of interracial violence at the "Lakeview Terrace" screening.Mooshkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04756575398525781044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-1635330389265145242008-10-08T10:00:00.000-07:002008-10-08T10:00:00.000-07:00great review, mooshki, thanks. i'll porbably wait until it's out on netflix and then cover my eyes a lot. i'm a weenie.Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01812795614613905032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-16995210205345530172008-10-08T09:56:00.000-07:002008-10-08T09:56:00.000-07:00thanks for the great review Mooshki (and the hottie alert)! now I know I can wait till dvdshelly_beanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06461991775035855658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-41249725163413557032008-10-08T09:53:00.000-07:002008-10-08T09:53:00.000-07:00Great synopsis there Mooshki. I was very curious about this film and whether or not it would be worth my hard earned $12 or not. <BR/><BR/>I have to be in the mood to watch this subject matter. I'll take your advice and rent it from Netflix. Oh, I gotta check out the hottie Mark Strong too.Punkimeowzerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04945400633942414302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-86568970244764294042008-10-08T09:49:00.000-07:002008-10-08T09:49:00.000-07:00That was a great review, Mooshki!
