Mankind in its lowest form of morality and respect for human life!
0 of 1 found this helpful I bought this movie because I am a fan of Jason Statham and Mickey Rourke. The production, cinematography, etc. is top shelf the storyline is not for the weak at heart and if your looking for an action thriller type movie this one is niether of the two. It is closer to macabre and certainly troubling. It is an expose of just how low mankind can get betting huge sums of money on a real life Russian Roulette. There is no hero, only the ritch and heartless live to tell about the experience, any chance of saving the story with some sort of reward ends when the very destitute young man who replaces player who dies of an overdose is killed in the end by the brother of a contestant that he defeated in the end. This is a movie that is a little to real for most anyone who watches it. It is a movie that you aren't likely to want to watch a second time, if you made it through the first showing.

A Just Tribute to Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy, and Gary Moore EXCELLENT
This is a fitting tribute to both Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy as well as, though not intended, Gary Moore who died in his sleep not long after doing this concert. It is a testimony to the talents of Phil and Gary as well as to the many members of the great rock and roll band from Ireland. This is a high quality package with both sound and picture being first rate and I would recommmend it to any Thin Lizzy, Gary Moore fan and especially to any rock and roll fan that is only casually, or not at all, familiar with the band because it will be an awakening of the best kind that will stick with you for life.

XBOX 360 Elite Owner's Opinion
23 of 26 found this helpful I bought the XBOX Elite because of the 120 gig hard drive, the HDMI interface, and because I liked the HD DVD capability. Due to my lack of research I found that unlike the Playstation 3 which I also own the XBOX does not play the HD DVD you have to buy another deck. That outs it right up there in price with the PS3. I could have bought a HD DVD player for less but the XBOX does so much more ie)MP3, photo displays, xbox line and it plays the games, everything as high as 1080p resolution if you have a HDTV. So the only dislike I have about it would be the need to go and buy another disc player to play the HDDVD. The PS3 plays BluRays right out of the box. I don't play games much but my son and grand son do and other people that visit the cost of both the PS3 and the XBOX 360 combined is comparable to the price of the new LG DVD player that plays both formats plus you get the games so that made this a more bang for the buck purchase for me. It is very user friendly, more so than PS3 and I really like the onscreen dashboard feature as a big part of that user friendly rating. The universal media remote is another great feature, it too is much better that the PS3. As for over all performance and the resolution on games the nod has to go to the PS3 but I am very pleased with both. I bought both on ebay and I did because they weren't available in this area except at exorbitant prices and I did better than retail on the XBOX369 which was new purchase and better than retail on a package deal for the PS3.
I like them both abd both purchases went very well through ebay.
