Summary: Film Noir for all
Review: Every now and then a movie will be released that will stimulate your brain and awaken your humorous bone which has been supressed by mind-numbing cinema. Forget formula who dunnit, this is a bit quirky with exciting twists and turns. Joaquin Phoenix is wonderful and demands your empathy for the character. What a feat in the modern world for an actor! Vince Vaughn is most charming and who wouldn't trust him?! My hat is off to the actors and the director of this beauty of a film. Thank you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HILARIOUS
Review: I am 33 years old and have two children and frankly I felt really guilty getting as much pleasure as I did from this movie. This is the funniest movie I have seen in several years. Vince Vaughn absolutely made this movie. From the minute Lester Long said, "Don't hit me or nothin'. I just wanna play pool", I was hooked. Vince Vaughn is a fantastic actor! He has a charm about him that is rare. He also has a certain physical comedy that few of us are graced with. If you are an adult and you can appreciate dark comedy, this is the movie for you. Murder has never been such a side spliter!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fantastic Script
Review: I bought this dvd, from reviews on other sites along with this one, in a 1-10 review I would give this a 7. I think the cast did a surpurb job on their part. The script I think is what I liked the most. However the movie didn't do nothing like 'blow' my mind away to make me say "woe" this movie is GREAT! Because it did not hah. Besides that, it is worth a keaper if you collect dvd's as I do. Most likely in the future this dvd will not be found in most stores, get it while you still can. -Luke Thuemmel-

Summary: Great performances highlight dark comedy
Review: I can't tell you much about the plot of the surprisingly well made Clay Pigeons without giving too much away. The movie's twists and turns are much of the fun. I can say that at one point, the town sheriff turns to young Clay Birdwell [Joaquin Phoenix] and asks him to quit turning up in places where a murder has been committed.

The picture is set in Montana, but most of its breathtaking photography was shot in Utah. The scenery underlines the story, for much of it is both beautiful and foreboding. All those vast open spaces hint at underlying danger, as well as vulnerability.

Joaquin Phoenix, whom we first saw ten years ago as a kid in Parenthood, has been very promising in movies like Inventing the Abbotts and Parenthood. Clay Pigeons should mark his transition into a serious actor. His speech patterns, facial expressions and body language make Clay Birdwell a character not soon to be forgotten. In the next decade, his imperfect, chiseled looks should make him a welcome balance to the pretty boy looks of talented actors such as Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Clay shows us something not all of us want to see. A life can go on fairly routinely for years, then suddenly spin hopelessly out of control in one afternoon. What are we willing to resort to if that happens?

Vince Vaughn also shines in this picture. Here, his innocent school boy manner works much better than it did in the unfortunate remake of Psycho, where we all knew the story to begin with. Also first-rate is Janeane Garfalo, who plays an FBI agent. Garfalo is one of our finest character actresses. She's the type you've seen many times, but can never place her name. She is set to appear in no less than eleven movies this year. Her portrayal is a delight. I suspect she based it on Scully in X-Files. If so, hers is a wonderful parody.

Clay Pigeons succeeds in a very tricky genre, which I call black comedy about very bad things. You have to be very good at your craft to pull this category off. Usually, these movies end up being tasteless and offensive. An example of that is the current boxoffice hit Payback, which is among the most mean-spirited movies ever made.

Some will have a problem with Clay's choices at the end of the film. I liked it. It was refreshing to see a character not go for the easy way out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Vince is tres creepy & compelling!
Review: I got to see this as a sneak preview, and I was so surprised that it got lousy reviews. It is a darkly humorous movie with a strong cast. It helps if you have a dark streak yourself.

And I hate to sound all Tiger Beat-ish, but Vince is a babe & a half, so for that ALONE I would give it at least 2 stars, heh heh heh

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty Darn Good....
Review: I picked this movie up at the rental store because all the new releases that I wanted were out. I had not heard any reviews or any of the hype. I basically liked the fact that Vince Vaughn was in it. I was really impressed! What charm that guy has! He seems to have a talent that allows him to pull off any type of character. The movie started off by getting you very interested and involved...and it never stopped. This movie is great entertainment!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: an action packed funny thriller.
Review: I saw this in the theater, I was dragged in and did not expect to like this at all, but was surprised.I loved it. This is one to rent or buy ... a must see!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great great great!!!
Review: I saw this movie at a friend's house thinking that it was another movie. I was really surprised to find that it is easily one of the best movies I've ever seen!! Vince Vaughn is great as a psychopath!! (He's also really cute!!)
