I actually really like Diane Lane, but I might wait for this one to rent on video. I will definately see this (trying to forget the reviews), on video. I still think diane lane is ausome even if the movie is bad, Rumble Fish is like the coolest movie ever- Francis ford coppola movie.

Shes right about torture porn, its not cool its just awful. Torture porn like the saws,hostels, and captivity are just awful movies that think showing someone being tortured is entertaining, wake up its not.

What's entertaining is seeing the bastards who perpetrate "torture porn" get served by a taste of their own medicine. See the new Rambo!!

What am I smoking?! Nothing, jokerboy, as a matter of fact. But why, pray tell, would I have to be smoking anything to suggest people see Rambo? Is it requisite that nonsmokers also be repelled by a little guilty pleasure every now and then, a little junk food, a little righteous indignation in the form of a high octane nostalgic actioner? If so, you needn't apply here.

By the way, Jokerboy, no offense at all, but, you see, I too am a fan of Rumble Fish and, much more, The Outsiders. But, ultimately, these are romantic fantasies of gang life, akin to West Side Story, in which the darkest possible outcomes range from losing one's girlfriend to one suffering a dramatic though heroic accidental death. Films like Rambo depict the world in all its unflinching ugliness. And heroes, in the case of the titular character, are not only ultimately called for (especially in today's world), but are very much welcome on the celluloid screen. If one must "smoke something" to see that, then count my name on whatever lists or petitions to that effect.

What, Rumble Fish had some cool action. The Fight seen at the begining with dillion was ausome, then Rorke rams that mortycycle. You can say theres a little resemblance of West Side story in the Outsiders a little, but I dont really see it in Rumble Fish which to me was a darker look of teens trying to live and be free. If somebody wants unflinching ugliness, go see taxi driver,mean streets, or most of scorcesse movies that look at the ugliness of society. I liked the first Rambo(first Blood), which was a good movie that shows the effect of war. The second one was just basically a non stop action pic which is fine, but the 3rd one is the same thing. We've seen it before, I just don't get the need of going to see another one, where you could just save money and rent the 2nd and 3rd which are practicly the same.

I can dig it, Jokerboy. Personally, I'm not a big fan of any of the Rambo sequels. Loved First Blood, and the New Film is solid. Some say it's the best Rambo sequel, and they won't get any argument from me. The less said about 3, the better. However, I don't cringe at all at extreme violence. Especially not in a film about a guy like Rambo. In fact I expect nothing less. It's like if I were even remotely interested in that Sex in the City movie coming out, I'd probably be upset if there weren't endless scenes of Carrie raiding shoe stores.

By the way, if you haven't already seen them, I'd suggest checking out Fight Club (and/or reading it) and Green Street Hooligans. Both great films.

Some of us are too faint of heart when it comes to people being bayonetted/machine gunned/throats ripped out/babies thrown into burning buildings...but you, matanuki, at least seem an aware enough viewer to think about whatever anti-violence message Sly's trying to communicate via extreme "realistic" war scenes...right?

Is it really that bad? I generally don't care for movies that go for the torture porn angle and seem to glory cruelty and bloodshed, but have never had a problem with the Rambo films because the violence always had a clearly fantasty quality to it and didn't really revel in gore for gore's sake. The violence of Rambo was always to me anyway kinda integral to who the character was. If the new movie has crossed that line though I'll probably give it a miss.

LOL, how did this go from a Diane Lane forum to a Rambo forum. I could understand a Judge Dredd switchover, but this is just bizarre.

I too really like DIANE LANE, saw I went and saw "UNTRACEABLE".

And... I have to say... I really enjoyed it.

It was intense and suspenseful and it reminded me of "SE7EN". I thought it was very good and have to wonder what some of the critics are smoking.

I saw "RAMBO" too, and even though I'm a HUGE fan of "FIRST BLOOD" i have to say that I was not overly impressed. "RAMBO" is good, "UNTRACEABLE" was better IMHO.

I will probably not see this film (14% is not encouraging), but she is still insanely attractive and talented... maybe we will get her in the next 'Rambo' installment and we will all look back at this thread and say "oooh, freaky"

We decided to take the girls (daughter's 15 yrs and 11 yrs) to the movies as we do at least twice a month. Before heading out we always look for a couple that are starting around the same time. We normally finalize the decision on the 30 min ride to the Theatre or at the ticket window, As we had 2 movies in sight when we got the to window the "Girls" (all three) decided on 27 dresses . We purchased 4 tickets to 27Dresses and after the purchasing of the popcorn and drinks and on way into the movie I decided to let the girls go for the 27dresses as I noticed "Untraceable" starting 20 mins behind them so, I slipped in that one with the blessing of my 3 critics (yes, you can do that I was paid in full for a movie). I am so glad that the boxoffice credit all went to 27Dresses as I was very disappointed in my choice of entertainment or should I say lack of entertaiment! I am big Diane Lane fan and she did a good job with a horrible plot!
