I didn't really get the cop's uber quick link between the toyota car to the wife in prison (way too far fetched to believe this dot-to-dot logic)

SPOILER ALERT!!






























Well they checked all Prius (what the hell is the plural of Prius?? Prii??) that were registered to convicted felons - the murderer (our girl) was in prison, so they checked the rapist first, who turned out to be in a wheelchair, so they went back to the murderer and checked to see if she had a husband or a son who could drive.

Quite reasonable I think, although there were certainly plenty of other highly implausible bits, but it was still a brilliant film in my opinion.

I found it unbelievably emotional, especially the bit where his Dad had spotted the plane tickets and worked out what he was going to do and knew he was probably never going to see his son and grandson again, and he shook his hand. I cried a few times.

Thought it was a cracker - I'm just gutted Russel Crowe did not get with the crazy girl's Mum

Olivia Wilde is breathtakingly beautiful isn't she? I loved her in the new Tron as well.

yeah what was the point bringing her into the story, if they did nothing with her?

Well it was partly a bit of a tease, but also I think to show the incredible unconditional love that Crowe had for his wife - that despite all the stress etc. and the chance of an affair with a stunningly beautiful woman, he STILL stuck with his wife all the way through.

I don't know specifically about Norwich, but for this particular offer, on the page in question in the Mail On Sunday, there is a TOKEN/COUPON (with DOTTED LINES around - presumably to cut out) which says "TO THE CASHIER" and continues that upon presentation "WITH A VALID TICKET" they can "Admit up to 4 people"

Not sure you are going to get in unless you've GOT BOTH !

I've been going to free previews for years and in the old days before showfilmfirst you had to ring a number in the magazine/newspaper and then write a reference number down on the page and take it. Since the films have all started being done through showfilmfirst etc., all the cinemas seem to have stopped asking for the relevant page (if there was one). I've taken the page a few times but have NEVER been asked in all the years I've been attending previews, and I go to showings at numerous cinemas in Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham and occasionally Stratford and even further afield.

At today's The Next Three Days preview in Derby (the third time I'd seen it with different people - it's that good!), nobody even had the newspaper voucher in hand. And the T&C's on the ticket say nothing about needing anything else.

I think they've partly had to stop asking because the offers often appear on the newspaper's own website before they're printed in the paper, and clearly if you access the offer through the website, then you won't have a newspaper page at all.

Not nasty....just poking fun at you in a reasonably light-hearted manner about your rather pathetic and irrelevant criticism of a FREE FILM!!!

Happy New Year to you too! xx

I accept that you feel my comments were pathetic but I still feel it was a nasty comment.

All I was trying to convey was my dissapointment that the Sky preview page did not mention that it was to be a sub-titled film and as to it being a FREE film, I pay for my Sky subscription which this is a perk of so indirectly not a free film!

I'm sorry. I hope the air-conditioning in the cinema was ok for you too and that the seats didn't chafe your delicate thighs? x

Why? :huh:

I can see that your post is headed with 'spoiler alert', so stopped reading the rest, as presumably it will spoil the film for anyone who is going to see the preview tomorrow night.

Just wondered why you would do that? :huh:
