Borderlands handsome jack face movie#
The movie has its director, but what about the cast? Earlier this month, some casting news surfaced that really surprised me. I may be talking too prematurely but this could be Eli Roth’s best movie. Yes, his movies don’t have the best dialogue, but so what? In this case, it’s a movie about Borderlands and everyone talks in quippy one-liners and profanity.
He likes showing crazy violence and Borderlands is all about crazy violence. For one, Eli Roth has an over-the-top directing style that he can easily implement in a Borderlands movie. However, I can think of a few reasons to spend some money and go see this movie. I’m not a big fan of the video game or the director. As an actor, he’s fine, but his directing filmography isn’t exactly one to be proud of. The fairly recent Detective Pikachu movie and Sonic the Hedgehog movie have temporarily broken the video game movie curse, but too much damage has been done to just forget the sins of the past. Is that really good news? I mean, video games and movies have a tendency not to mix. If you’re a Borderlands fanatic, you’re probably aware that Eli Roth will be directing a movie adaptation of the game. It is what it is, they’re plenty of games out there, but not too many video games have the misfortune of getting a movie adaptation.
It’s not that I think they’re terrible games, but for me, they just weren’t my cup of tea. I tried the first and second game and they didn’t work for me. I’ll just come right out and admit that I’m not a hug fan of Borderlands.
