Chris Rock playing an unfunny comedian, imitates real life to me, as I've never found the guy funny, only when he repeats a line, and throws an F word in it. I actually thinks he's a better actor than a comedian, and that's saying much. Obviously borrowing from other films, right off the bat, HEART AND SOULS for one, a much better film, our failing comic character, while chasing a skirt, and rushing to save her from danger, is run down by a bus, and ends up in Heaven, a real dream like place. Not so bad, only his love interest has also ended up there, but has no idea who he is. To be recognized by her, he gets the chance to change bodies with a ruthless uncaring senator, who's really fat bodied with average looks, which of course Rock, doesn't know, but changes his persona. Bit of an interesting premise from here, with this lighthearted comedy with some good morals, with a couple.of laughs. Ends quite asudden, as I quite got into this. For Rock fans.

Merhi and Pepin are at it, again with another B entry into B ville. They make movies faster than I can eat a hot dog. They do have a style in their story telling, and there's always some shocking scene. Here we have two strong written male characters, first bumping heads, but soon becoming some sort of vigilante team, our ex boxer and repo man, bringing a lot of heat down. Some not so bad acting, especially from the female players, who are quite strong in their roles. Proving again bad B films, don't have to have bad acting Quite tragic heavy hitting moments near the end, but again this isn't a bad Pepin/Merhi effort, but doesn't put it in the good or average category. Quite stunned to find a smaller player became a bigger name/someone of a stud. Strictly undemanding fare. Just appreciate it, for what it's worth.

An exciting and adventurous night at the movies, Marco did impress. Well made, great fighting sequences, wonderful thought provoking dialogue The weakness is it's story, sheerly running on one of revenge, and with a cliched plot. Marco, our vigilante hero , writing a wrong and taking on. Crooked cops, mafia, in high numbers, in the wake of his blind, but not real murdered brother. Blood and gore aplenty, somewhat disturbing in it's last 10 minutes. Subtitle matters had me worried at the starts with 30- 40 clips of credits in Indian writing. Also first movie with music from beginning to end. Some scenes, seemed short, hurried through, had me recollecting a film I acted in, do this. With all this said, Marco is a highly recommended, and bloody entry into this actioner genre..
