Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack we walk, not run, walk to AMC plus for a tall order of “I own this small town” jackassery and thanks AMC for the 7 day free trial but I won’t be signing up for reals unless you get me some more 2004 the rock ,paper mill, big stick action that was Inspired by a true story…if that true story were a tall tale about a wrestler turned actor who’s best friend is a jackass. I’m not going to let this stand. I said. I’m not going to let this stand. stop looking at me!

Anywho, This movie has everything. Walking, Riding in the back of a police car, More Walking. Driving into to town to get some supplies with your old man. Walking again even though we established you have a truck, Fighting in a Casino/Bar/Man Fantasy that leaves you almost dead…so no walking for the moment but then!! A jailhouse shootout in Bras and guns… Bras and guns …. I think I subscribed to that magazine in the 90s and then I lost track of the walking so I’m not sure if there was a lot more walking…but I’m kind of sure that there was.

Randy,  what kind of Drug Alley Momma, baby in the street woo somebody needs a bath , Meth Mill Mancino hometown, did you grow up in?

BRIEF

 

 

When decorated military officer Chris Vaughn (The Rock) returns to his hometown in the state of Washington to find work, he finds that the lumber mill has closed, and the town’s big business is now a seedy casino operated by one of his old schoolmates, Jay Hamilton (Neal McDonough). Aided by his loyal friend Ray Templeton (Johnny Knoxville), Vaughn tries to make a stand against the area’s crime and corruption, but, finding no help from the police, he must take matters into his own hands.

Rated :PG-13
