Singleton to me, peaked too early with Boyz. that movie still rocks you to this day. Poetic Justice and Higher Learning were good as well but not as powerful.

this sounds like a good premise and could be very interesting

we’ll see.

I just really praised him out the gate and haven’t been wowed since.

I have to admit the premise does sound good, although not sure about Lautner’s acting chops. Never saw Twilight or anything, so it’ll be interesting to see how he does in a more serious film like this..

Ha! You got me! THREE days of the Condor! I’m a f’n moron! And if you say the script has nothing IN COMMON, you’re not correct.

So here’s what I was trying to get at: it’s a poor script (in the vein of 3 days and rear window…) that plays on the it-boy of the moment.

Singleton directing is a step in the right direction. Hopefully they can get the script into shape.

In reply to Rodney. Rodney, Notice how he said the script is poor. Not the plot. People don't tend to criticize the script specifically unless they've read it.

In reply to MEDavidson.

Do you mean Three Days of the Condor? Because that movie has NOTHING in common with this plot… nor does Disturbia, or Rear Window or any combination thereof.

I have NO idea what you are trying to get at there.

The script is pretty poor. Sort of a Last Days of the Condor meets Rear Window (or Disturbia, if you’re a little younger).

Lotta of people trying to capitalize on Lautner as the kid-of-the-moment. He coulda picked a better script.

nothing like a remake 2.0 version of faces on a milk carton
