- The invited contributor says high expectations from runtime, football, box office and Oscars were unmet. He did not hate it, likes the cast, but finds it dated, slow and underwhelming.
- The opening and throwing scene feel slow with Longest Yard datedness. Asked whether it ranks last in the month, the response puts Death Wish lower; age1994 is stated in response.
- The invited contributor loves Bruce Almighty but explains older comedy feels dated relative to his formative films. Direction seems sloppy while writing and acting are good; other speakers react with surprise.
- Asked about Death Wish, Craig dislikes the entire movie; replies acknowledge the brutal opening and questionable politics. This is a subjective review, not a category winner.
