Movie Review – “This Means War”

You take the good…you take the bad…you put them together and what do you have? You have This Means War… a movie that is full of  flash, a little bit of substance, and a whole lot of nothing. The ironic part is that McG’s ode to “nothing” is a fun movie to sit through and the nothingness is what makes it so much fun. The plot is simple – two CIA agents,  FDR Foster (played be Star Trek‘s Chris Pine) and Tuck (played by The Dark Night Rises’s Tom Hardy), fall in love with Lauren (Water with Elephant‘s Reese Witherspoon) while in-between their field work of trying to stop the bad-guy (played by Inglorious Bastard’s Til Schweiger) who they have been tracking for a long time.

The inside story of the bad-guy is there to give FDR and Tuck something to do as part of their story.  Tuck is divorced but keeps close to his ex-wife and their son. FDR has never had a serious relationship due to his womanizing nature. Both have allowed work to be their lives and because of this they have not had time to “be human” and have a normal relationship. After visiting FDR’s grandma (played by Spider-man‘s Rosemary Harris) and seeing how happy she has been for years with her husband, they both realize that it’s time to settle down and meet someone and maybe even start a family. Just bare with me on this as I will explain This Means War  in a feature that we all enjoy – It’s Alex’s “The Good! The Bad! and The Geeky”!!!
