"Jason Statham is not a name that exactly inspires confidence in moveigoers.He was director Guy Ritchie’s lapdog for “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch,” before boxing himself in to roles that played up his martial-arts prowess, squelching any dramatic potential that nuanced his performances.Starring in a string of empty-calorie cinematic Twinkies (“The Transporter” films, “Chaos,” “War” and “Crank” were all designed solely to accentuate his pugnacious proclivities) only kept him out of the direct-to-video purgatory that befell fellow fighters Steven Segal and Jean-Claude Van Damme.He’s often dismissed as the British version of Bruce Willis (balding, gruff on-screen demeanor, characters of few words and a cupboard filled with ca "

"Released: November 3, 2006Directors: David Bowers, Sam Fell*****Armed with an all-star voice cast, the stop-motion studio behind the Wallace and Gromit adventures and the production studio which brought Shrek to life, Flushed Away was supposed to be a big hit, a film for all ages to laugh at, enjoy and share together. Someone obviously missed that memo in fall,2006, as the story of a well-to-do rat who gets mixed up in a seedy underworld flopped-relatively speaking-at the box office.In a (relative) spin on The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse tale, Roddy (Hugh Jackman) is literally flushed down the toilet when interloper Spike (Andy Serkis) finds his way to Roddy's Kensington home. Once in the sewers and tunnels under London, Roddy meets up with the vile criminal lord The Toad (Ian McKellen), beautiful Rita (Kate Winslet) and a host of other characters in the search for a ruby from the Queen's crown. A ruby which will put Rita's family on easy street...though, in the end, the st ... "

"As Roddy the mouse sleeps peacefully in his owner’s mansion, a sudden explosion of water spits up through the drains revealing Sid, a sewer rat who reflects the average male in today’s world. Sid takes over the joint, turns the television to the World Cup. Roddy has enough, and attempts to outsmart Sid by insisting he gets into the swirling ‘Jacuzzi’ before the game. Sid suddenly shoves Roddy into the toilet and Roddy is Flushed Away to the underground sewers. As Roddy swirls down the drains toward the sewer, he hits corner after corner in an old-fashioned kind of comic humor, catches an orange fish who asks, “Have you seen my dad?” and finally falls into a river of sewer water where he encounters sewer slugs. Originally the slugs only had the bit part during Roddy’s intro to the sewer but because of their popularity and laugh-out-loud visual and audible humor, the slugs appear again and again through out the movie. The movie is outr ... "

"Wasn't exceptionally keen on seeing this; since it's set in a sewer, was expecting a lot of gross humor. But I've a soft spot for Hugh Jackman so gave it a chance. Much better than expected; rather cute, if not necessarily laugh-out-loud funny; good cast of voices. I do get tired of the scenario in which nice-guy heros are made out to be nerds whom nearly everyone makes unkind fun of or dismisses as useless. But it wasn't too bad here. "
