...Fleder's flick about Ernie "The Express" Davis wasn't going to win the box-office weekend, but can anyone tell me how in the world it ended up finishing sixth with a seriously paltry take of $4.7 million (with those talking rat dogs on top for a second week in a row Being such a solidly entertaining flick about college football, it certainly...

...Fleder is a fine director who has made some underrated gems such as "Runaway Jury" and the long forgotten "Imposter." It'll probably be a good movie, but it seems like Fleder has the unfortunate luck of making forgotten flicks The Time Traveler's Wife - November (TBA Reasons to be aware of it: "Flightplan's" director Robert Schwentke...

...Fleder was at the helm of this remake. As for a screenwriter for the adaptation... oh, I don't know, let's assume Wesley Strick. Just let your mind spool through the plot and see how it might appear. Got that image? Hey, isn't that funny? It'd be exactly the same moronic, contrived film, wouldn't it? Some things, it seems, transcend...

Rob Brown: The Express Interview

2008-10-06 21:57:00 by The Sly Fox in The Sly Fox Film Reviews
 
...Fleder and the cast of The Express RB: Gary was definitely hard on me, but I think that was necessary to get to the bottom of Ernie. Gary ran a tight ship, and I think it shows. He made a great film. And the cast was great. We had a real tenured group of guys in Dennis [Quaid], Clancy [Brown], and even Charles [S. Dutton]. Then we had a...
