The movie starts with a bloody shoot-out as Malone (Thomas Jane) tries to surrive while getting a mysterious case. But when he opens it, a dangerous and thrilling chase begins. Shot in modern day but with noir 50s and Sin City style, Give 'Em Hell Malone is one of those movies that should have been on the cinema screens. Violent and enjoyable, not once did I feel bored or look at the time. Jane is perfect as Malone, he's a intresting actor and I think this role brings out his best pefomance yet. I didn't really know the other faces in this film but they gave out good enough pefomances to grab your attention. There are some funny moments as well. The one thing that bugged me was the ending, it was left hanging for a sequel. Will there be one? I do hope so. If you enjoyed Sin City and like this sort of film, then I highly recommend Give 'Em Hell Malone.

Thomas Jane reprises his ultra-violent role as the Punisher: renamed Malone, as a classic Mickey Spillane type detective turned gun for hire. The film opens with one of the best shoot outs I've seen in a long while whilst the hero does the classic detective movie voiceover. Malone has been hired to collect a case from a hotel where he is ambushed by a gang of goons. The case leads him to Evelyn; played by Elsa Pataky, a beautifully played film noir broad who sets him on the trail of the mysterious person who hired him to retrieve it in the first place. Factor in Ving Rhames as the bad guy's hired muscle and a couple of villains almost straight from Sin City and you're set for an entertaining though violent thrill ride. Set in Spokane, Washington the sets are wonderfully atmospheric and the soundtrack is straight from the 40s with lots of muted brass employed. I watched this on dvd and the picture quality is so good that my son asked if I was watching a blu-ray. If this is your bag you won't be disappointed.

Sin city,The Spirit,Now welcome Give 'em Hell Malone... Thomas Jane ... ex punisher .. now the indestructible Malone.. with an ever so sweet mother , Elsa Pataky, a sweetheart who gives him the heart aches.... and Two face (A la batman) & Ving Rhames as the villian's muscle, along with a good screenplay.. & narration.. & lots of good action, twists in the tale and " to be continued" in the end ( promising a sequel to this one) make this an enjoyable movie.... And the blu ray is cheap and all region... All the more reason to buy the blu ray & enjoy the movie...Cheers

As far as tough, well-made neo-noirs go, "Give 'Em Hell, Malone" isn't perfect; it has a clunky, uneven plot with terrible pacing problems, and a meandering storyline. It has unlikely characters, over-the-top violence and about as much emotional depth as a brick wall.
What it does have, however, is undeniable and unequivocal heart: it's raw and it's dirty. It has a longing homage to the '50s films that inspired it that it should at least be given a watch by most people. I'll be the first to tell you it's no masterpiece, but I won't be last to tell you that, as a trashy piece of noir entertainment, it succeeds on almost every level. It's action-packed, it's humorous and it's never, ever touching, but it will completely entertain you for its whole running time...and, after all, isn't that what we see films for?

Thomas Jane is awesome in this movie and plays his part really well, the movie has a brilliant story with Jane playing a tough as nails gun for hire who gets set up in a deep trail of revenge, its very original and very cool in the way its filmed with some stylish action and very bloody shootouts, especially the awesome open sequence which is probably the best scene in the film. There are some cool villains too, Ving Rhames is great as always. The movie is very Dick Tracy in its style sometimes, a brilliant gangster film thats certainly worth checking out. Great cast and great style and very entertaining for a small film release.

I went into the film with open eyes, but within 5 minutes I wish they had been closed.
This movie is terrible, with a capital T!!!
Lame jokes, the weakest paper-thin plot...and I don't go for the whole parody/homage thing, set now, but with 30's fashion/wise crack remarks.....even writing that makes me feel sick!!!
I don't even want to get started on the acting, Thomas Jane, a once great prospect acting wise turns into the worse kind of paint by numbers actor...he wouldn't even get into Eastenders he's that unconvincing!!!
I advise anyone reading these reviews to save their money and do something useful with it, maybe buy the new FALL album!
Give Em Hell Malone....I wish I could!!!
ps...I couldn't rate it no stars, so I had to rate it 1 to get the review on here!!!

Please don't pay any attention to the glowing reviews of this movie it is a total turkey .Mickey Spillane meets Sin City it is most certainly not. I'm sure that's where its positioning itself but it fails on many levels. One hell of movie ..avoid ...not even worth a rental!

Had the story taken place in the 30`s, it would have been a great movie! But to mix clothes and cars from different times and letting it all happen in present time dosen`t work for me! Unless if it`s done like in Sin City! Better luck next time! 3 out of 10!
