Give Em Hell Malone Poster
“Suck my Sinatra”, you don’t need to cruise to far on this site to find John Doe’s affection for the classic noir genre and its subversive offspring. The trailer for Give em Hell Malone offers a full check list of staples with distinct camera set ups, femme fatales, tough guy dialogue and twists a plenty.
The man in the mirror Thomas Jane looks for Bruce Lee
The film is the latest from Russell Mulcahy, the Aussie Director of Highlander and ahem, Razorback. Teaming up with the square jawed Thomas Jane (Stander, Boogie Nights, The Mist) and Marsellius Wallis himself Ving Rhames (Out of Sight), the film looks like a hard edged, tongue in cheek ride.
The synopsis from imdb.com says:
“A tough as nails private investigator (Malone) squares off with gangsters and their thugs to protect a valuable secret. Malone goes through hell to protect the information but he dishes some hell as well.”
me and my friend here disagree with the studios decision
Malone fights crime with a smoky atmosphere
Elsa Patasky is the femme fatale in red
The unofficial Red band trailer is set to the thumping of George Thorogood’s Bad to the Bone and opens with an hilariously staged torso being flung from a window.
The full trailer bleeds a clenched teeth, ice smooth vibe as Jane burns rubber in his hot rod 1952 Chop Top Buick Straight 8 that’s primer black with red rims and white wall tires. How did I forget to mention the delectably Spanish Elsa Pataky who reveals herself as an obvious sexual temptation.
Premiering in 2009 at Cannes and then the San Diego comic con, Give Em Hell Malone still hasn’t picked up a distributor. Hopefully misunderstood instead of a dog, the question is when do we get to see the finished product for ourselves?

Could this be a return to form for Russell? I met him on several occasions a few years back. My gf at the time was friends with a gay art director who knew him well.
I only watched the teaser, which teased well.

As far as try hard imitations of Se7en go, Ressurection with Chris lambert was OK too.

Lambert makes up for a lack of talent with genuine gusto that plays against his laconic style...ihis performancs are like an internal struggle onscreen

Subway was way cool. That POV tunnel drive rules as does the distinctly 80's soundtrack.
My favourite Besson as you know is Leon: The Professional.
La Femme Nikitta is intense and the Big Blue was beautiful. The Last Combat rounds out Luc's best for me. Mostly his Jean Reno films, coincident?
What about Thomas Jane, you a fan?
