TOO OLD! by Le Vicious Fishus	Oct 25th, 2008 12:32:47 AM
She's too old to have those kids. Sorry, but it's true.
Also... by Le Vicious Fishus	Oct 25th, 2008 12:33:49 AM
stunning bit of overacting on the part of Ms. Basinger, who is always uniformly terrible in everything she's in.
The trailer failed at 1 min 25 secs in. by Julius Dithers	Oct 25th, 2008 01:04:15 AM
Anyone else experiencing this?
failed for me at 0:00 by BadMrWonka	Oct 25th, 2008 01:10:44 AM
but it looked good up until then...
yeah trailer stopped on me too by StrokerX	Oct 25th, 2008 01:11:57 AM
just when they were gonna point the gun at her va jay jay!
Yep. Fails. by gotilk	Oct 25th, 2008 01:13:58 AM
Only plays partially.

Make it 0 secs in
Aeghast: sly double entendre! by Julius Dithers	Oct 25th, 2008 01:21:49 AM
I'm gonna watch the Clint Eastwood trailer again. Is While She Was Out the Cindy McCain to Gran Torino's John McCain? Hurm...
Get off my parking space!! by gotilk	Oct 25th, 2008 01:36:02 AM
No, actually if you let it keep stuttering all the way till the end, if you hit play again it will play from beginning to end without stuttering. It takes a LONG time, but it works that way. At least it's not like the old days when you'd let it stutter to the end and they were so SCARED of letting you distribute their so-called "promotional material" because it would be saved in your browser's cache, the damned thing would start from the beginning again and stutter all the way through.. over and over. But this is almost as annoying. Is that Lukas Haas? Great role for him. This looks pretty interesting.
if by "exclusive" you mean "clusterfuck" by ShiftyEyedDog2	Oct 25th, 2008 01:36:12 AM

One minute of goodness. by colinjbooth	Oct 25th, 2008 01:36:25 AM

Trailer doesn't work at all for me by aversiontherapy2	Oct 25th, 2008 01:47:35 AM
Is this another of those US-only things? You should really point those out, it takes 5 seconds of your time.
It works. by gotilk	Oct 25th, 2008 01:49:42 AM
Just do it like I said. Let it stutter (minimize it and walk away). When it finally stutters to the end, start it over and it plays through. I have seen the whole thing. Ends with yellow caution tape with the film's name as a logo, followed by a shot of what looks like some sort of clown statue with breathing in the background.
mori...saw talkback...no? by billyhitchcock	Oct 25th, 2008 02:02:53 AM
:-)
billyhitchcock by BadMrWonka	Oct 25th, 2008 03:07:02 AM
no.
Guys... by TheRealMoriarty	Oct 25th, 2008 04:08:54 AM
... I'll point out to our tech guys that some of you are having issues with the trailer. It worked for me, but I want to make sure it doesn't keep screwing up. Thanks for pointing it out.
Finally got it to work, by JumpinJehosaphat	Oct 25th, 2008 05:17:23 AM
but was subjected to a trailer device that irks me like no other: The ol' 'Christmas-Carol-Juxtaposing-V iolence' trick. The suits must love, love, love that gimmicky crap.
Kim Basinger in... Death Wish Mom! by IAmMrMonkey!	Oct 25th, 2008 05:48:18 AM
Looks okay although I've seen too many of these movies now from Death Wish to Death Sentence to The Brave One and they're all starting to merge into one another.
what Mori meant to say was by Kloipy	Oct 25th, 2008 08:21:30 AM
"Jeez all you talkbackers do is bitch and moan, did you know that talkbackers only make up .001 percent of the population that comes to this site? I hope you all rot in hell you dumb bastards!"
GUYS, SETTLE DOWN! MORI'S FIXING IT!! by dr sauch	Oct 25th, 2008 09:59:39 AM
WOAH!
Save your time and money by Rubiks Doob	Oct 25th, 2008 10:11:35 AM
Crappy flash trailer that takes forever to load. A far more revelatory trailer has been on Youtube for a while. The Plot in a nutshell: Kim has an abusive husband but loves her kids. She goes to the mall to shop on Christmas and runs afowl of a gang of homicidal thugs led by Lucas Haas. She slowly picks off the thugs off one by one using wits and a convenient tool kit and prevails, gaining a gun from them. She comes home and then kills her husband with the gun and newfound feminine survival strength. It's Taxi Driver/Brave One + Cellular. And that's the whole movie. Yawn.
I'd watch this if only for... by I Own You	Oct 25th, 2008 11:12:31 AM
the fact that Anchor Bay was smart enough to put 'Profit' on DVD. If they make smart choices with home distribution, I hope they'd make the same considerations with theatrical.
Rubiks Doob by Genghis Von Doom	Oct 25th, 2008 11:40:48 AM
Straw Dogs would be a closer comparison than Taxi Driver or Brave one. (On a side note, I love violent movies set at Christmas time. This was giving me flashbacks of Gremlins and Die Hard.)
David Cronenberg + Neil Jordan + James Wan = by fivezero	Oct 25th, 2008 12:37:11 PM
THIS. It looks good. I'll watch it on cable. Grand Torino is A MUST-SEE. This is almost there. I like the way it's shot and edited. The thug actors look genuinely scary and evil. Cool.
Looks interesting by Mr.Krinkle	Oct 25th, 2008 01:06:02 PM
I like the concept: an innocuous act of criticism spiraling into something crazy. I also like horror/thrillers set at the yuletide season. Looks like it's not by the numbers at all, so I'll check it out. Thanks again for Thursday night Mori! Trick 'R Treat was awesome!
Eeek! by SugaMouth	Oct 25th, 2008 01:24:57 PM
Not good. Guillermo or no, this looks like a turd.
Finally found a watchable version on another site... by googamooga	Oct 25th, 2008 01:32:30 PM
Looks OK, but damn, they give away almost every death in the trailer.
It works, just a slow download by Turd Furgeson	Oct 25th, 2008 06:43:17 PM
Very slow, but it works....
Isn't Don Murphy the guy by Turd Furgeson	Oct 25th, 2008 07:09:36 PM
who got all butt hurt during the Transformer Talkbacks and yelled at us over the internet for like 3 months??
What I meant is.. by Aeghast	Oct 25th, 2008 07:42:36 PM
..that the trailer failed to get me interested in the movie, that's all :)))
Looks good. by Darkman	Oct 25th, 2008 08:34:37 PM
Kind of like Basinger's CELLULAR character got dropped into JUDGMENT NIGHT. Also, 'too old'? 'Overacting'? Jesus, Alec, let it go.
Jeremy Piven... by Psycho_Kenshin	Oct 26th, 2008 09:38:23 AM
...was great it Judgment Night.
Hey it's an interesting domestic drama... by Gozu	Oct 26th, 2008 12:49:38 PM
OH SNAP! Gangstas! Way to take a completely uninteresting turn. I thought she was going to be a killer housewife or something.
Turd, I think that was Memories of Murder. by Garbage	Oct 26th, 2008 02:06:59 PM

Love revenge flicks. by scrivener	Oct 26th, 2008 08:54:34 PM
Can't wait to see this!
