What a stacked cast. I'm guessing this gets Best Picture next year. Not that it will deserve it.

Norton's character looks annoying to watch

Lol don't worry, I expect Willis dies within 10 minutes and maybe has a couple of flashbacks. That way you barely notice him phoning it in to cash checks.

I look at this with some faint hope that we go back to the Edward Norton of American History X and Fight Club, back when he was a joy to watch on screen (to me, anyway). And not the pretentious prick he either became or allowed to come to the surface.

Because there was a time I would watch anything he made, and this looks like shades of that Edward Norton.

I saw this today. Tomorrow my wife will fill me in on the parts I slept through and I'll tell her what happened while she was napping.

Not that Norton's career was on fire or anything, but it seems pretty hard to take him serious going forward even after watching his performance in just the trailer.

Feels like a jump the shark moment. nevergofullretard.jpg

I know of it, but never experienced the misery.

I guess Norton has been shit for longer than I realized? He certainly sucked dick as Bruce Banner.

Norton was great in it. If you don't want to experience good performances because they make you uncomfortable you should expand your horizons. I'd start with porn.

The name of the movie is Motherless Brooklyn. Everyone had two dads. Obviously.
