This is some good cheesy fun much like the first one. Though not quite as good as the first. It is really not much more then an average fun movie. Pretty much this movie is more of the same as the first one... just substituting basketball with boxing. I never been much of a Jason Bateman fan. I mean I have nothing against him... He is ok I guess... but not someone I would be seeking out other movies/shows of.

I went into this movie knowing very little about it. But I have heard good things about it. Going by Tom's Review here on this site... it is probably the closest thing I have ever seen to a Bollywood movie. After watching it I have found I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I really liked the characters... and the storyline kept my interest through-out. Though I have to admit that with some of their accents and the speed they were talking I did have a little bit of a hard time understanding some of the dialog. But over-all I enjoyed every minute of this one.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

THE CLOSER - SEASON ONE - THE PILOT





From the truly awful depths of Roswell, the next pilot is the exact opposite and is totally sublime.
I am now officially in love with Kyra Sedgwick (I think she is Kevin Bacons wife?). What a great performance she gives, absolutely perfect for the role as the new unpopular deputy chief from the South, and in a braless vest 
Firstly the writing is really good, great flow, hidden depths, surprises and character depth. The support cast appears strong with great dynamics, JK Simmons as father figure is perfect, and the 'office politics' will be good to run alongside each investigation.
I never guessed the ending, did anyone else?
Great start and full of potential, this is at top of 'to view' pile now. I would liken it to a good mix of Prime Suspect and Law & Order
