G.I. Joe (4 Rubys)
Fantastic opening fight scene. I thought the special effects were very good. Storyline/plot flowed well for me. Action sequences very eye appealing. Dissappointed in Dennis Quaid with his portrayal of General Hawk. I did not experience the G.I. Joe phenom while growing up nor did I watch the cartoon on TV so I was a virgin going into this movie. My rating was solely based on my experience with this movie version.

Head of mall security gets in a ‘who’s got the biggest’ contest with local law enforcement to see who can catch a flasher first. This movie was absolutely terrible. Way too many “F” bombs which were put in just to make the move vulgar. Not very funny at all. I took it out of my BluRay player after 45min at which I could stomach no more. I wouldn’t even waste a buck at the Red Box for this dung heap.

Four con-men who are best buds are always looking to make a quick buck. One is a very good card player but gets taken in a card game by a mobster who cheats for 500,000 pounds. The four buddies have one week to come up with the money. Many twists and turns throughout this caper. Very funny. Great British humor. Many “F” bombs buy very well placed appropriately for emphasis where needed. Very interesting camera angles and views as well.
