The Iron Arnold
Movie review “Sabotage” aka “Ten” (2014)
Q: “Thank you! do you remember the duration?”
A: Felt like 2 hours.
Q: “do we get to see Arnold fight? and with gun fights, is he very tactical?
lastly, does he has a great badass slow motion like hero shot or scene? “
A: Arnold does have a hand-to-hand fight at the end. Everything else is by the book tactically proficient. No guns blazing. This movie felt like they did their homework in terms of how firearms are shot, how formations are made, etc.
Q: “Does Arnold have longer screen time than in TLS?
Did he show his muscles? Was his appearance (haircut) menacing?
Is the movie more similar to End of Watch or Traning day in style?”
A: Yes, Arnie has longer screen time than in TLS. He is much more of a force than in TLS as well. Yes, he shows his mucles (shirt on) when they show him training/lifting weights at the gym. His appearance/haircut fits the character. He is a veteran-legend-seen it all “DEA god” as referred to in the film. The film is similar to End of Watch and Training Day in style but in terms of cinematography, it’s a combination of both.
Q: how do u compare this film with the ESCAPE PLAN?
A: I haven’t seen Escape Plan. I gave those tickets to SlyGuy & SonnyCrockett.
Q: how do you compare this film with End of Watch? What’s better?
A: Gyllenhaal & Pena had a much more down to earth and relatable chemistry in EOW. But this film had a better story, better cinematography, and better cast.
1) Is this a commercial film that film find an audience or will it be a nitch movie type?
A: It feels like an indie film combined with a commercial film. Like Training Day mixed with End of Watch.
2) Was the title Sabotage when it started or Ten?
A: It was titled SABOTAGE at the end but the questionnaire asked us if we liked that title. I said NO.
3) Does Arnold do any stunts?
A: No massive stunts in terms of believability. But stunts that felt true to the character. Fighting, gunplay, car chase.
4) Was the screening packed and did the audience seem to like the film?
A: They were very receptive. Even the parts where Arnie’s “funny” persona appeared, the audience laughed.
5) Does Arnold’s new look come off awesome in motion?
A: I liked his new look. Allowed me to get lost in the story of the film. He smokes a lot of cigars in this as well.
6)Thanks for the answers Does the film have more action than TLS?
A:Yes, more action. More realistic and violent too. But not in the exploding heads kinda way. Just brutal nature.
