Today I had the morning and afternoon off, so I decided to use the time to catch up on some movies that I did not get to see in the theaters. I rented Derailed with Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston. I was looking forward to this movie, I wanted to see it when it was in the theaters but I just never had time to. I got some Subway and sat down to watch what I hoped would be a good movie. The movie started good, but I wasn’t to impressed at first.
Disclaimer: plot will be disclosed in the next paragraph.
I figured out that the mugger and Jennifer where partners half way through the movie. So the whole time I was hoping Clive Owen’s character would figure it out and beat them at their own game. The movie goes on and you find out that Clive Owen is your typical guy. He keeps getting pushed around by the bad guys and doesn’t do anything about it. So the whole time I am upset that Clive Owen is not his bad-ass self, but at the same time glad that he is showing that he doesn’t always have to be a bad-ass. But then Clive Owen does a 360 and turns into the man. I jumped out of my seat and shout for joy to see the Clive Owen that I paid to see. The best part was the end when the bad guys says ” It is to bad, out of all the prison you got stuck with this one.” Then Clive Owen says, “No LaRouche, I picked this prison.” I was like “Oh, SNAP! WHO’S YOUR DADDY NOW!”
So this post is dedicated to Mr. Clive Owen the Man of the Hour. Because when your back is against the wall, you wanted a guy with a face that says, I will mess you up, by your side. Also go see Inside Man coming out this weekend.
On a side note, I got my hair cut by a one eye lady today. Fun times!
