All I can say is...WOW!!


I had seen this movie on I don't know how many times and for some reason it just didn't strike me as being any good at the time. Well I'm going through a little Sam Rockwell phase right now and I was like well now I have to watch this movie. I did and I taped it. I thought it was great. The expressions on Sam Rockwell's(Jerry) face were so real looking, in the first couple of time Tom is doing his thing. lol There were a couple times in this movie I got sick to my stomach when they were killing some one because it felt so real. The way the director did the scene changes and made them like flow into each other was really neat. I'd seen something like that in other movies but not the way he did it. Most people would just do it in a couple scenes throu out the movie but he did it all the way throu. I so recommend this movie if you see it on Showtime, it is worth watching.

lol I'm going through a sam rockwell phase too i watched this movie yesterday i think it was great, he always plays the bad guy (really fits him) i recommend this movie. Anyone who liked sam rockwell as jerry should see "matchstick men".

and if u REALLY like SAM (i had my own SAM phase), ya gotta see BOX OF MOONLIGHT ('96), LAWN DOGS ('97), and THE SEARCH FOR ONE-EYE JIMMY ('94)....nevermind HEIST or THE GREEN MILE.....

SAM is the man!

Rockwell in Box Of Moonlight--that's a brillant movie right there.

This was pretty good until the end or so... its not fantastic or ground shaking but it was def entertaining, and Mantengna is good in literally anything!I found the vhs for two bucks prev. viewed, so its hard to complain other then its taking up space in my closet along with all the other prev viewed vhs tapes i bought back when that i almost never watch today... completely forgot about either movie or that i actually owned it till yesterday when i was actually bored to the point of nothing being on any of the cable channels that i looked in to see if i had anything i didn't remember, and poof...won't forget it again anytime soon at least.
