Tropic Thunder
I saw a movie titled “tropic thunder” last night. The plot was as follows. A group of self-absorbed actors set out to make the most expensive war film. But after ballooning costs force the studio to cancel the movie, the frustrated director refuses to stop shooting, leading his cast into the jungle of Southeast Asia, where they encounter real bad guys.
Staring : Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Nick Norte, and Tom Cruise
I really went into this movie believing I’d be entertained. I enjoy Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. and the advance buzz sounded intriguing. However, I thought it was extremely unfunny and falls away short of what it sets out to achieve, I admit, but the execution is somewhat lacking. My wife and I agreed the talent in the movie was severely under-utilized. It felt a lot longer than it actually was, not a good sign. All and all, a rather mediocre fair. Yet I really impressed Tom Cruise who was dancing very obscene dance quit well at the end of the movie. I didn’t understand who he was at first because he disguised himself with a wig of bold head and fat. He is worthy to be a superb actor indeed. 206words
