There’s nothing like a great crime-thriller… but then there are all the rest and Setup appears to be a part of the latter. Now don’t get my wrong, Bruce Willis is one of the easiest men in the world to watch on screen and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has been building up his acting rep, but this trailer just reeks of cliches and bad writing. The fact that it was directed by professional stuntman Mike Gunther will either make it an extremely awesome popcorn flick with action like we’ve never seen (and a story-line basic enough to hold it together) or another action film with absolutely NO story-line and acting that makes you more afraid than the villain.
Check out the trailer and see for yourself…

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson wants people to take him seriously as an actor, so he’s decided to go the method route. Move over Christian Bale from The Machinist, there’s a new malnutritioned character headed to the big screen. The rapper is known for his beefy physique but has traded in his muscles for skin and bones to star in the feature film, Things Fall Apart.

Has the the world gone certifiably insane? I just came across some disturbing casting news which I’m having a hard time dealing with. According to AICN, Forest Whitaker will not be featured in Sylvester Stallone’s action flick The Expendables. This is so sad.

(Pause) Don’t worry, I had the same reaction as you. I was completely shocked. What makes Stallone think that 50 and Whitaker are on the same level?
