A bit deus-ex-machina for me, but I'll give it an up-vote any way. What the fuck.

Tags changed from "evil,parent,annoying,kids" to "evil, parent, annoying, kids, ex machina" by gold star member looris.

that double-ending isn't good, especially the "deus ex machina" (i.e. the thrusters) but i like this anyway.

Ewok ex machina.

deus ex machina was the best line.

DEUS EX MACHINA!

Am I the only one who hated this movie, thought it was completely contrived and stupid, and found Denzel Washington to be overacting?

For instance, in the course of their day, Denzel and Ethan end up saving a girl who is being assaulted in a back alley. Later in the movie, one of the guys Denzel has hired to kill Ethan Hawke finds the girl's wallet in Ethan Hawke's pocket. The girl turns out to be the thug's sister and so he chooses to help Ethan's character. Deus ex machina. Is that not just a bit of an outlandish coincidence on which to pin your story?

Insofar as you can hate a piece of art, I hate this movie. To me it's just an example of successful marketing and people's increasingly "fast food" take on culture these days.

the video is great, but the deus-ex-machina ending sucks bigtime.

While I appreciate the sentiment, it seems a little too deus ex machina.
