The Big Ugly

I am more in agreement with the pro critics on this one. Barely OK show. Very predictable and not very probable at all.

i think the cinematographer thought that lighting this film meant backlighting this film and then doubliing down on it. just one of many reasons why this film stinks.

4 Stars is surely a minority review - but if something feels anything like a Guy Richie movie and takes me back to Vinnie in "Two Guns and a Smoking Barrel," … I'm all in. And the musical score was a bonus. Great cinematography especially use of shadows. I don't care how many dimensions the characters had; they were great.

There are elements to this movie that I liked. It's set in West Virginia and involves a British mobster doing business with the town's sheriff regarding some sort of oil deal. Then it kind of becomes a revenge movie mostly as the son of the sheriff kills the girlfriend of the British mobsters number one associate. So it's kind of muddled. It does have a good cast including Malcolm McDowell, Ron Perlman and Vinnie Jones. Seems like this would've worked better as a straight revenge flick than bogging it down with a mostly uninteresting and underdeveloped sub story

Better than most, acting was good

In order for this to work, Vinnie Jones has to be somewhat adequate as an action star. All he does is continuously take a beating by a man the size of a walnut. So cliched and terribly boring. Actors obviously working for a paycheck.

An awful movie. How 86% of RottenTomatoes members found it a great movie is impossible to understand.

Scooby Do has a better plot line

wants to be a guy ritchie movie but could never. my eyes almost rolled away.

When two long term criminal bosses meet to talk an oil deal, one of their sons and one of their henchmen get involved. And what was a decent plot line devolves into old men looking each other in the eyes before they're about to kill each other. London comes to the sticks.
