As Good As It Gets

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Watch this movie. It takes about the first 50 minutes for this to hit it's first real mark, but when it does it brings you something you may have never seen before, and that is a kick ass ballerina. The movie has so much wrong with it, and almost all of the male characters are just there as background props for the real show, and the little girl dancing alone in the theater is so well done. If you like Taken, or Transporter then you will really like this. I have to say it though these days even when Christian Slater's character lives through a whole movie, I bet he is still dying inside like his poor career. If Nicolas Cage, and John Cusack would stop taking every roll there might be better options for Slater, and good old Stephen Dorff gotta mention him since I'm ranting. Nuf of that See this movie!

Michael is a powerful American businessman who came to Russia to develop a big deal but now he is in danger of losing possessions because learns that the Russian mafia is about to take over his business. He is married with a beautiful ballerina dancer Maya. They have a daughter Nina who means everything to them. Michael is killed and to Maya is hatched a trap and she will go to prison. For their daughter to be safe it appeals to a good friend of Michael to take her to her parents in Las Vegas. Things get complicated when she finds that Nina has been kidnapped and now Maya must escape in order to go to save her daughter from the hands of the mafia who are looking for stocks that are worth much money.The story is not bad but it is spoiled by stupid idea as a dancer can become a great martial artist and by using the dance moves can beat even three strong men.

The actors in this are all really good actors and they also do a good job in this, the problem is the movie they are doing is not written or directed great.You will recognize a lot of the actors but like a lot of these movies that have big casts with a lot of recognizable names it's like they assume that's enough and that they don't need to worry about the other aspects of the movies like the writing and directing because they already have all the star power they would need to draw in audience and make money.That's really all it comes down to is money, and I'm sure with the star power this movie made money they just didn't worry about it being an Oscar winner or anything :)

Indeed it is clear that it is a low budget movie but the story film is very good, maybe it is a little exaggerated Chapter drama, but the director manages to combine very nice drama leaving room for intrigue with action very subtle. The main role is also played very well and is surprisingly well knows how to fight a simple ballerina. Leaving aside the struggle with learning techniques, I can say that it would be possible for a dancer to learn some fighting techniques soon pretty good considering the complexity of the movements they perform in training - in short worth seeing. I personally I gave it 10 for originality and not only ...
