Give 'em Hell, Malone! (2009)

Give ’em Hell, Malone!: Directed by Russell Mulcahy. With Thomas Jane, Ving Rhames, Elsa Pataky, French Stewart. A tough as nails private investigator (Malone) squares off with gangsters and their thugs to protect a valuable secret. Malone goes through hell to protect the information but he dishes some hell as well…

“During the beginning shootout scene I could sort of tell what style of movie I was in for, as the movie progressed it is just way more silly and wacky than I expected it to be. It basically is a over the top and ridiculous ambient of film-noir. The acting wasnu0026#39;t that good, but really annoyed me is the character Matchstick who is basically a wannabe Joker. The movie has itu0026#39;s moments and I liked how it didnu0026#39;t really take itself seriously. Thomas Jane who played Malone was okay with his role, especially cause of his voice which has the noir detective feel to it. The characters basically have a cartoon feel to it and not developed very well. And the setting is a mix of the 50u0026#39;s and present, I guess itu0026#39;s cause of the budget or for the younger audiences. The script isnu0026#39;t very well written, but the twist was okay since I didnu0026#39;t see it coming since I thought it was going to be predictable. For a straight to DVD movie, itu0026#39;s pretty good overall.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e6.8/10”
