Yes, John is a ubercop, but he's still one guy out of his element with a single handgun at the beginning of the movie.
Yeah, I guess I'm looking for both of those kinds of movies. Not so much the lonesome loser type, like I imagine Ryan and the Real Girl to be. And, yes, I'm waiting for the Hunger Games, too. I wanted to read the books before, but I never got to it. Too many other books to read.

Looks like Katniss Everdeen in Hunger Games is going to be one of those characters.
Can't wait till the movie opens - 3.23 - I believe. Edited by bholmes - 13 Mar 2012 at 7:04am |

David is an underdog to Goliath.
Mclane is a formidable cop. |

Any and all genres. Mainly I'm looking for how the underdog pulls even with the antagonist for the final battle. Second act stuff.
Here's my list so far: Die Hard - just watched it again last night. McClane is one against 12 men with superior firepower, but as he kills them off, he acquires their weapons. Even so, Hans the antagonist gains more and more information about him, exploiting it to keep knocking him back - finding out he has bare feet, and then shooting out the glass; discovering his wife; etc. October Sky Babe Rocky Karate Kid 12 Angry Men Mr. Smith Goes To Washington Miracle on 34th Street One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest |
