I had to re-watch the longest one like, three times immediately after the credits rolled. Great to see him back working with Statham, the fight-scenes are really just very, very cool.
This is a Statham flick, so we are expecting some action, right? Well, the action scenes are few, and rather far apart, but when they come, they hit you like a ton of Statham-fists right in your face! Damn! And no wonder, the incredible Corey Yuen is the friggin' action choreographer! Corey Yuen, co-director of The Transporter, director of several Jet Li-movies, also fighting choreographer on (among about a billion other movies) my favorite fighting movie ever: Kiss of the Dragon. There are lots of memorable scenes in Casino (1995), but the cowboy scene is a fan favorite. It has top actors including Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci. Another reviewer compared this movie to 'The Equalizer', and it does share some similarities. Casino (1995) In this 1995 film set in the 1970s, you can watch what critics have called one of the best casino movies ever made. He doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything, but I really liked him. Jason Statham makes one of his best performances here, I have to say. OK, it is not that action filled, and the plot may not be the most original (what plot is anyway?), but I really enjoyed this movie. Hm, some times it is hard to understand why movies get such bad reviews and low ratings.
