Gavin Hood became a political filmmaker with his very first movie. In Tsotsi he attempted to redeem a fictional criminal teen in South Africa, Hood's country of origin. He tackled American foreign policy, for better or worse, in his follow-up film, Rendition. The ensemble drama about our government's often overlooked policy of taking terror suspects to foreign countries where torture could be conducted legally, was not a hit financially or critically, but it asked the questions Hood wanted to ask.
The reviews have been pretty uniformly bad. That's too bad, I was excited. My uncle almost got my parents to name me Logan when they couldn't come up with anything.
wish I was named wolverine .... in arabic ofcourse ... that would have been cool growing up ..... might go and see it tonight (having a midnight screening over here) will be sneaking some vodka in just in case it sucks that bad.

I saw the pirated version, and it was the worst movie I've ever seen. No shit...
This coming from an obvious fan of the 'Watchmen' movie....yeah, your opinion matters when it comes the what was possibly the biggest letdown of 2009. Watchmen was terrible. A murder mystery (and not good one at that) with costumes and f-bombs. Whoop.

Watchmen was certainly watchable. It may have been disappointing, but I'm not sure it could've been that much better.
Watched the movie last night.
Not the best movie ever but still watchable. I liked the intro but that's about it. The special effects did suck. Very pre-matrix.
