Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

radhrh I won't go into the details of the plot as that has been done by many other reviews, apart from to say the central pillar of the movie is the usual ho hum seen it all before tale of the righteous little man fighting the evil system ( guess who wins! )What sets this apart is that one of the fore mentioned little men is a drug addict, and I mean big time. If you can snort it, smoke it or stick it in your arm our man is front of the line every time. There is hardly a scene goes by that he isn't ingesting some class A or an other.My problem with this is two fold;Firstly, and most important, is that non of these drugs seem to have any effect on him, with the exception of heroin which makes him fall asleep. I'm sorry but snorting coke and smoking crack does not make you into some kind of hyper switched on super lawyer. They turn you into a gibbering moron, period.Secondly, Chris Evans is monumentally miscast in the role. The guy looks like, well Captain America. He does not look like a junky. The film makers might have got away with it but for the fact they have Chris naked from the waist up for most of the movie. Why?! Are they trying to inject some eye candy for the girls and gays in the audience? Or was it to show that as well as being a major drug fiend he also has a body covered in tats? Like tattoos and drugs go together, doh! I'm sorry but its like having Scarlett Johansson playing a bag lady!Take Chris' Olympian physique out of the equation, which isn't easy as its rammed down your throat in every other scene, and his performance is flat, which isn't really his fault as there isn't much for him to work with. There are a couple of scenes where his motives are questioned, but we come away none the wiser. He is obviously a very complex character but the script never really gives any incite into his motivation.I generally like court room dramas, especially if they are based on actual events. And I have nothing against Chris Evans as such either. There is a good, if not important story in here waiting to get out, but this movie fails to be anything other than a rather disappointing piece of entertainment.

Nic_Dread_Wolf_Marling Sometimes the formula pays off. This is one of those times. A true story of two struggling attorneys set out to change the medical world. Gripping until the final moments. Despite being a bit predictable I found myself sitting up right in my recliner for it's duration. At it's core it is a powerful story of greed and corruption. One that should not be missed.Chris Evans delivers what is his most moving performance to date. He stars as Mike Weiss a high performing drug addict. Despite his flaws I found myself smiling during his drug fueled rants and rooting for him as he fell deeper into his addictions. He lights up the screen every time he's on it and I never once wanted him to be in the background. Thankfully, he is not there often. Being someone who grew up around drugs and that sort of lifestyle I found his representation to be quite accurate of a driven man who just can't kick the habit. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Chris Evans has it.Everything about this film, from top to bottom, excelled for me. The direction and screenplay are both tight, but make no mistake about it this is the Chris Evans show and he delivers in a major way.10/10

ricardovs27 I have to be as honest as possible here: the only reason I came to discover this little indie gem was because of Chris "Steve Rogers/Johnny Storm" Evans participation on it. It was one of those lazy, hot weekend nights, just returning from a much needed bar-hopping experience with some good friends, a little wasted and with no sleep whatsoever in the horizon. Clicked on the online services I happen to subscribe and browsed aimlessly, looking for something to entertain myself waiting for Morpheus' call. Saw a picture of Mr. Evans on the cover, looking all somber and bleak, sporting a beard, holding a needle on his hand. Well, the first thing I thought about was "well, folks, I bet Evans is on total Nic-Cage-on-crack mode; this must be fun to watch". And I have clicked on to start. Boy, and I was wrong. The movie is everything except Evans going haywire and stuff. A highly enthralling and interesting subject, supported by an excellent cast and compelling drama, "Puncture" makes a louder thud than anything a few bearded fatsos could dream of, simply by presenting facts and giving us characters we care about. Evans is at his best, aided by the co-director Mark Kassen, the surprisingly restrained Marshall Bell and Bret Cullen in their task to raise some questions. I suggest to watch this precious movie back-to-back with "The Constant Gardener". That aspirin will never be the same again.

Mere Humsafar Movies based on true stories can sometimes be dull and dragging, unless they are well-directed and this one is more than well-made.. the first hour which goes into building of the story is slightly slow-paced.But as the story unfolds, we come face to face the complicated deceit at mega-corporate levels - This movie shows how some of the large health service manufacturers stonewall any change affecting their profits - even if a million lives could be saved, dangerous diseases like AIDS and Hepatitis C could be reduced.. financial power, legal manipulation and finally criminal intentions..Performance of Chris Evans both as a young righteous lawyer and also as a drug addict is authentic..and Brett Cullen as the suave high-profile lawyer is effective..The movie at some level moves in the lines of "Erin Brokovich" another very good true-story-movie dealing the corporates, legal profession, health hazards and the strength of purpose
