Best of the New Releases: Cabin Fever 2 I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually kind of dug Cabin Fever 2 (my review). Let's be clear, though. It is a messy, messy, mess of a movie mess sewn together in crude and thoughtless ways, but I kind of...

Disappointing ending. Lack of courage and knowlegde on law of director. The propose of the film in the beginning was to discuss about the... riminal procedure and penalties, but preferred to show off some pyrotechnics tipical of action movies instead of sharing relevant information. Good play of Foxx. Butler not too good. Full Review

The events are farfetched and ridiculous. We are expected to believe that this man has access to extremely sophisticated weapons as well as the... expertise required to set them up and activate them by remote control which he does by tunnelling in and out of prison. Absolutely ludicrous chain of events. Full Review
