Best action film from last year

I believe this was the best action film of 2006, and it deserved a lot more attention than it got.

It has more bloody deaths than the overrated Oscar-winner, 'The Departed'. It has more frantic fast-paced action then that horrendous crapfest that was 'Crank'. The cinematography was on par with the Oscar-winner 'Pan's Labyrinth. The costume design should've won an Oscar rather than... read more

I must agree with Midnight's review, as well as Prelude76's.

This film is excellent, despite all those violent scenes. I've stomached quite a few violent films, but this one particularly affected me more. I can handle violence but gross, no. (Apocalypto is *not* gross.)

It IS unfortunate that the movie is subtitled, but then again, so was Mel Gibson's the Passion of t... read more

I was a bit surprised with this film. Not in the sense that I thought it would be horrible and found out it was stunning instead. No. I was surprised because I thought it would be far more violent. I'd heard from several places/people that it was a very violent film. I didn't find it that violent. In saying that, if you aren't used to violence I wouldn't recommend watching it while eating, it's ju... read more

"March 12 "The omen was foretold, and now we have a fear more grave. Today I saw the day become like night. I saw a man run with the jaguar. We must not let this man make feet from us." I was expecting this movie to be good, but I never knew that a movie directed by Mel Gibson would be fucking amazing. There were some times where I forgot that it was directed by him. It was a great movie on how the Mayans lived back then. It was emotional, disturbing, suspenseful and everything that this movi"
