Yum!

Mean Machine arrived yesterday! Lots of yummy goodness in the guise of Messrs. Statham and Jones...plus a damn good, fun film...love the two commentators. In brief, it's a remake of the Burt Reynolds film, The Longest Yard, but with (proper) football instead of the American version, prison inmates play a match against the guards. Vinnie Jones is Danny, a former football pro inside for game-fixing and GBH. Jason is Monk, a rather psychopathic Glaswegian in solitary.

Hmmm...*g*

Screencaps forthcoming.

Happened to catch this on cable late last week. Immensely enjoyed Vinnie Jones in such a tailor-made role as Meehan and Jason Statham as the psychotically-zen, "Monk".

I know, Vinnie was perfect, both because of his former career and his...temperment.

Psychotically-zen *lol* Love that description! Although with some of the faces he makes...not very zen-like *g*
