The premiere is being held at The Arclight in Hollywood!

Yeah that's pretty cool!

Back in the day, I'd walk out the LA Film School and see some red carpet premiere accross the street at the Arclight, they seemed to be huge premieres though and this is gonna be rather small too I guess... I think I prefer the charm (inside and out) of the Chinese Theatre though.

Today is the Dutch release!

I tried to watch it last night. I could only make it through about 20 minutes.

Surely it can't be that bad?

[Jox]

Not at all, but it's a character piece more than an all-action tongue-in-cheek flick so it won't please everybody and will bore some... (Not mentioning a really really low budget independent film, but yet I think they did a really good job considering) That said, the movie is totally unnessessary.

[whiteandblank]

unnecessary in what respect?

[Travis]

The opening gunfight looked pretty bad. The digital muzzle flashes looked like something a 15 year old would do on youtube.

They should have watched some Freddie Wong tutorials.

'War Pigs' costar Chuck Liddell tired of playing the 'mean, tough guy' on film

“It’s kind of cool doing a movie with (Lundgren),” Liddell said. “I’m not the fan guy; I don’t like bothering people, so I usually don’t even come up and say him. But a lot of them are fans of me, so it’s nice to have that mutual respect.

“War Pigs” was the first time Liddell got shot on camera, requiring a “squib” that produces the characteristic splatter of blood from a gunshot wound.

“I want to try some of the crazier stuff they do,” he said.

Liked the interplay between Lundgren and Goss but aside from that the whole film is stuck in neutral. The training sequences are all standard stuff, aside from maybe the class on how to draw.

Frustrating that when the action does ramp up in the end that Lundgren is mostly on the sideline. Without saying too much the way the mission was accomplished was really weak.

Not outright bad, just forgettable.
