incredibly underated


it should be at least a 9 based only on the magnificent job William Fitchner does as the cold blooded hoodlum.

one of my favorite crime caper movies of all time.
I highly recommend it, 100 times better filmaking from SODErBERGh than the smug ocean stuff.

its a very good movie. not 100 times better than oceans, but still pretty great. i'm surprised so few have seen it.

reply

Yes, i agree. Its very good looking movie!

I'm glad to see some positive reviews here. I'm looking to track it down. Can anyone tell me how big of a part Shelley Duvall has in this/what her role is? She is credited as "Nurse" so it sounds like a tiny part, but her name is in the main credits on posters/covers.

Maybe 3 or 4 minutes so it's not that big of a part, but it's a good film so see it anyway!

It is that. What I like best about it is the way it keeps flashing back to earlier periods in Michael's life, as if to say he can't escape his past. I'm not a big fan of car heist movies, but there is plenty of complexity of character and motivation to distinguish this one from all the rest.

I thought it was a good movie also. Everyone put in a great performance, the timing was great and I didn't see the ending coming ... at all.

Good movie. Peter Gallagher & William Fichtner are excellent as always. Alison Elliott is wonderful as well. 8/10
