the director

Anyone else think this movie looked like something that would go straight to video? The story was great, acting aswell, maybe some wierd ones, but everything else, I mean the "feel" of the movie, felt like something just put together for the heck of it. Well maybe it was producer's fault :). Usual suspects was great of course, but maybe i liked it so much I forgot that Bryan Singer sucked. I thought the Xmen were horrible too but they would probably suck even if directed by Francis Ford Coppola. So what do you think, did Singer made this movie cheap?

Compared to X-Men this did look like it had lower production costs and so it should. They didn't need that much money to make this film.

I was talking more in a sense, cheap as "quickly done", "not too much thought given into it". On the other hand, maybe some people were underpaid and didn't do their job properly :)
