Always in the 'you might also like' movies?


Is it just me, or does it seem that this movie is ALWAYS in the 5 movies or whatever that is at the bottom of the page for each movie for "viewers might also like" or whatever? I don't know who's trying to get this movie publicity but i swear it shows up for almost every single movie or at least every action movie ever made.

I agree. I'm tired of seeing it in the recommendations at the bottom. What's worse, I got that film and it sucks and it's a constant reminder of my stupidity.

reply

Yeah it seems to be ubiquous. This movie has to have a lot of money to pay the IMDb in order to promote it all the time.

yeah, I like it too. Don't know why it's in the recommendations so much (I've never noticed it) but I saw it today. Guess I'll dust off the DVD & watch it again. It's worth it just for the courtroom scene.

Has nothing to do with money...keywords my friend, keywords. This movie has a lot of common ones.

You obviously know nothing about film, or really have much experience with life and different strata's of society. This is a brilliant film. It's a darkly comic urban fairy tale that was incredibly well acted and written. One of Reece's best films by far, and really the one that made me like her. It's just disappointing how many idiotic people like yourself feel the need to express their idiotic opinions.

Ha, I finally decided to go to this site because of the same reason. Almost every movie I see on IMDb it recommends "Freeway", so I was gonna check the threads to see if I was crazy or not.

reply

eah i watched it too for that reason. Well at least it wasn't just me... also, pretty anticlimatic movie in the end

reply

HA! That's the same reason I rented it! Every freakin movie I look up on IMDb it seems (even weird *beep* like "Run, Bitch! Run!") has this as a recommendation, so me and my friends decided to rent it to see how exactly it was like ALL those movies it's supposed to be similar to. I didn't see many similarities to many of them (though while watching it, the movie "U Turn" came to mind, which also has this as a recommended title), but i enjoyed the movie anyway. One of the better performances I've seen from Sutherland.

Yea, I now officially hate this movie and I don't think I might like it.

Yeah, it's out of control! It seems like at least 4 out of every 5 movie profiles I see recommends it.

A lot of strange things happen in this world. Things you don't know about in Grand Rapids.

Lol, so true, I was thinking the same thing. Aparently I have no choice but watching it after all. They finally get to me.

reply

they finally got to me too... and i hated it.

reply

Yeah same for me, too. I always see it down there. But I refuse to actually watch it. It looks awful.
