Product Description

Thomas Jane (The Punisher, HBO’s Hung) is Malone, a private eye with a reputation for being tough… so tough he can't be killed. Sent to retrieve a briefcase from a seedy hotel, Malone walks right into a trap set by the city’s most notorious crime boss. Bullets, fists and blood fly as Malone battles the hulking Boulder (Ving Rhames), the incendiary Matchstick (Doug Hutchison) and the beautiful, yet deadly Mauler (Chris Yen) in order to protect the case, its mysterious contents and a bombshell client (Elsa Pataky) who may be more trouble than she’s worth.

5.0 out of 5 stars High BPM and a film noir feel..., December 24, 2009

By 

Compusurge (New York City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Give 'Em Hell Malone (DVD)

"Malone" is a super noir-styled detective film with a high BPM rating (Bullets per Minute). Ultra-stylistically filmed, it tells the story of P.I. Malone (Thomas Jane from Hung) who has been hired by a mysterious woman to secure a braiefcase, the contents of which he doesn't know). The opening scene is a trap and the action lifts off from there and never stops...literally never stops. Ving Rhames is perfect as an ultra bad man and for those who remember the bad prison guard from The Green Mile (Percy), Doug Hutchison once again seems to be in love with fire in his role as 'Matchstick', a dude in love with kerosene and matches. Thomas Jane plays one tough dick and killing him is difficult to say the least. Even a bullet to the chest is received and discarded. The bomshell client is more trouble than she's worth indeed. Give 'em Hell is a great 'watch' for action fans as well as fans of the genre.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent piece of pulp, January 26, 2010

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Give 'Em Hell Malone [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

While I've come to enjoy Thomas Jane the more and more I see of him lately, it appeared upon first glance that Give 'Em Hell Malone may not have been one of his better decisions. Happily though, the film is a stylish, semi-enjoyable piece of pulp-noir that Jane appears to be quite at home in being in. Jane stars as Malone, a tough PI who has been double crossed and is now up against a crew of gangsters, including an old nemesis (Ving Rhames), a pyromaniac (Doug Hutchison, doing his best Heath Ledger Joker impersonation), and their boss (Gregory Harrison); all the while with a mysterious damsel (Elsa Pataky) in tow. Unapologetic in its blood-letting and violence, Give 'Em Hell Malone is certainly fun enough to enjoy and features style to spare from Highlander and Resident Evil: Extinction director Russell Mulcahy. What detracts from the film however is some just plain horrible editing and a screenplay loaded with plot holes. Still though, for what it's worth, Give 'Em Hell Malone is an enjoyable enough experience, and you could do much worse than what you find here.

3.0 out of 5 stars GUMSHOE COMEDY, October 6, 2010

This review is from: Give 'Em Hell Malone (DVD)

Malone is a classic scotch guzzling gumshoe. He narrates during the movie in the tough guy Sam Spade style. Early in the movie he is shot and goes to a retirement home to meet his mom, a Betty White knock-off, who nonchalantly removes the bullet from his chest. He meets a dame, who is every bit as tough talking as he is. One of the guys who is trying to kill him is a pyromaniac named Matchstick, who learned to act from watching Heath Ledger as the Joker. If fact he imitated the Joker so much, it was a bit annoying. Ving Rhames is a bad guy attempting to deal with emotional issues. The plot is confused and immaterial to the movie. There is also a stereo-typical oriental female killer, who is tough. How tough? Ving asks, "Do you know where she keeps her knives?" The comedy is light but good. Simulated oral sex, very brief nudity, and drops the MF bomb.
