The Power of Four

1942. Six months after Pearl Harbor, the Axis forces prepare for an even more devastating attack on Allied targets. Nearing completion of their own crude atomic weaponry, a brave British spy (Helen Mirren) notifies British intelligence that their bomb is almost ready.

Four operatives from the still-in-its-infancy 007 program (Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Hugh Jackman, and Liam Neeson) are dispatched into the heart of Germany to find the bomb, remove it, and destroy any evidence of its existance. Unbeknownest to them, the Americans have also learned about the weapon, and have sent it their own team of four (George Clooney, Matt Damon, Timothy Olyphant, and Kurt Russell), all of whom trained in the Super-Soldier program until it was sabotaged months earlier in Brooklyn.

The two teams meet, and must work together to get into Berlin and complete their mission. Standing in their way is an Axis strike force (led by Anthony Hopkins, with Ryan Gosling, Rutger Hauer, Bruce Lee, David Morse, and Ron Perlman). Who lives, who dies... who wins?

Simple Synopsis: A group of con artists mistakenly target the daughter of the head of the Italian mafia. Comedy, murder, sex, betrayal, and chaos follow as the both the mob and FBI close in.

Natalie Portman - Jennifer
James McAvoy - Danny
Kristen Bell - Emma
Summer Glau - Grace
Daniel Day Lewis – Julius Pizzati
Meryl Streep – Donatello Pizzati
Jennifer Lawrence – Anna Maria Pizzati
Colin Ferrell - Hannigan
Alan Tudyk – Agent Parker
Bradley Whitford – Agent Bergman

Background: Siblings Jennifer and Danny (Portman and McAvoy) left the orphanage they grew up in when they were 17 and 15 respectively and began conning people. Four years ago they met Emma (Bell), the bored child of a wealthy family who decided to join them (and began dating Danny) after the deaths of her parents. Grace (Glau) has been part of the team for the past year and a half though she is hesitant to open up about her past.

The con artists make a mistake when they don't realize their latest mark (Lawrence) is the daughter of the head of the Italian mafia. The Pizzati's (Day-Lewis and Streep) hire a professional (Farrell) to track down. Meanwhile, the two FBI agents who have been building a case against the Pizzati's (Whitford and Tudyk) are joined by the agent tracking the con team (Cheadle).

[creepy]

I'd be excited to see that Power of Four movie. Sounds delightful.
DLS&S sounds like it could be good but the Coens are real hit and miss with me. I love their movies or hate them. Gives me skepticism.
I've never cared too much for House and this incarnation does nothing for me. Sorry, Sharky.

[DevSop]

I'd actually be okay with watching a one-off House movie, but the competition here is way too tough. I'm not a huge Bond fan but Power of 4 works maybe because it brings in the US Super Soldier element. I wish there had been a female element to it, but that's not enough to vote against it yet.

[Sportsguy]

It scares me how much I agree with Creepy here, I must be sicker than I thought

[Road Warrior Shark]

Hey! I thought Eric was supposed to job to me here?

Seriously, All are good write ups. I don't care about losing here.

If you didn't like House, I don't know what to tell you, other than fuck the hell off

[The Jewish Cunthead]

The Power of Four gets my money on Opening Night. That's how you pitch a movie.

Outstanding.

[The Canadian Content]

Power of 4 and Drunks, etc.

[townofdalem]

Obviously I vote for me, but I think my second choice would prolly be House. I like that Power of 4 is an original concept, but it doesn't do it for me. Wolverine and the cast of Batman Begins teaming with four Captain America's to battle a group of super japs and nazi's feels a little too fan fic/B movie to me. Also, isn't Bruce Lee Chinese not Japanese?

I feel bad going against one of the other people not doing a sequel or adaptation, but there it is.
