Rumble Through the Dark

So I see that my first review that I did of this rubbish movie got deleted. I wonder if this review will also be deleted.....

Most likely it was reported by the rubbish people who have given high ratings to this rubbish movie, the fools who have been involved in making this rubbish. So very pathetic of the filmmakers to take down my honest review.

Aaron Eckhart is a fun comedy actor, he has shown this countless times over the years. But that is not enough to be able to save this rubbish.

The movie is predictable, boring, the actors are talentless, the script is laughably bad.

I want to warn everyone not to watch this movie. Don't torture yourselves by wasting time on this useless movie.

And not even Aaron Eckhart is very good. Well, he is in a way but I sure do not believe in his character one bit. And the girl playing the Lady with tattoos is just plain a horrible actress. I think the only believable person / character is the Circus Director. The story is simple and the efforts to infuse this with "heartfelt moments" are just lengthy and tragic: In fact the whole middle part of the movie is more or less these slow and horribly boring heartfelt moments. The bare knuckle fighting that was advertised did not even try to be believable and in any case he constantly used brass knuckles.

I really don't have much to say about this one but the fact that so many are giving it bad reviews is why I am writing this so that it can boost the ratings.

Like alot have said, it's not an A list movie. There's nothing extra ordinary here. It's just a simple story of an ex fighter turned drunk who owes big momma and has to find a way to pay back. That's it.

However, unlike most people, I think it's a beautiful picture. I loved most of the acting and there were a few moments of laughter. I wouldn't say it's an amazing movie, but I won't rubbish it either. Just a good ol Sunday afternoon kinda movie.

The cage fighter Jack "The Butcher" Boucher (Aaron Eckhart) is a loser, who was raised with love by his foster mother Maryann (Amanda Saunders) in the Mississippi. Presently he owes US$ 12,000 to the dangerous booker Big Momma Sweet (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) and US$ 30,000 to the bank since he sold Maryann's real estate. She is now an old woman (Jeanne Caldarera) with dementia at a nursing home, and he has promised her to bring her home. Jack receives an amount in a fight that was a fix, bets the money in a casino and raises US$ 12,000 to pay Big Momma. However, the small-time criminal Skelly (Joe Hursley) sees Jack and tells Big Momma, who promises to quit his debts if he brings Jack to her. He asks for a ride to Jack, and near to a cornfield he tries to kidnap Jack and steal his money. Jack reacts and his truck has an accident, and Jack completely dizzy leaves the man and the truck in the cornfield. Meanwhile, the owner of a carnival, Baron (Ritchie Coster), sees the truck in the cornfield and stops his crew. He sees Skelly dying and his attraction Annette (Bella Thorne) finds the envelope of money. The mechanic Ricky Joe (Mike McColl) peeps the scene and becomes curious to know what Annette has found. When Jack wakes up in a bar, he returns to the cornfield and finds that he was stolen. Now Big Momma wants him to fight the huge Ax (Derek Russo) to pay his debts to her.

"Rumble Through the Dark" is a depressing drama about the life of a cage fighter that could have been better and better. The performance of Aaron Eckhart is magnificent and did not deserve this awful screenplay. The beautiful and hot Bella Thorne is another attraction of this movie. The story in an ambient of losers and small-time criminals is melancholic and indicated only for specific audience. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Rumble Through the Dark"

It's a movie that has a mediocre plot and doesn't promise anything to the audience. A more emotional drama could have been created with this subject. Characters pattern comedy. It is not taken seriously. Still, for those who are interested in fight movies like me, it is watched with curiosity until the end.

There is a man who was abandoned by his mother in his childhood, later abandoned by his adoptive people, and only one woman gave him love in every situation. This guy is trying to make money by fighting for something or at the gambling table. He tries to protect the money he earns at the expense of his life. But sometimes his memory fades and he loses the money. The reason he's so worried about money is that he sold his mother's house so he can get it back. Like a little child, the man still longs for the woman he calls mother. I'm telling you, a much more dramatic movie could have been made.

There is no nudity in the movie, but there is some light sexuality.
