I wish he made more films like this. <br /><br />And Douglas was on a roll around this time, with Black Rain being my personal favorite of his "Badass" roles. You're right, he needs to delve into a third act of his career, where he can play on his age, but still be a badass. I think he can do it. :)robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-81978617832995705412012-11-14T03:39:09.424-08:002012-11-14T03:39:09.424-08:00This is freaky!

Like all his films it's gloriously over-the-top and silly but you go along with it because it's so well done.<br /><br />Agree about Michael Douglas being a badass. I think he needs to get back to those kind of roles. I'm suprised, given the success of Taken, Expendables and RED he hasn't signed up to do a retired action hero movie.Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.com
