on Oct 09 2007 09:22 AM I'd have to go with Carnahan over Fuqua. I liked Narc a lot, though Smokin Aces was a massive piece of sheeeeot. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 09 2007 01:33 PM Escobar was a very complex man, and angel for some, a devil for others; he might have been an assassin, and the biggest drug trafficker ever, but he also spend lots of his money helping the poor people in Medellin. I don't want to see a movie were he's treaten like "the bad dude who needs to be killed". Fuqua approach seems more interesting. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 09 2007 07:08 PM The guy who directed Narc vs. the guy who directed Training Day. Interesting duel indeed! Oliver Stone's involment makes me want to go with Fuqua's version a little more... (Reply to this) |
