Great movie - Perfect Part For Mick!

I love Mick Jagger immensely, and adore the Rolling Stones. I loved this movie and thought it was Mick's best since Performance. Did anyone else think that the part of Luther Fox could not have been played better by anyone else? That character, I think, was catered to Mick. It was just, him. I can totally see Mick doing stuff like that. And it just broke my heart when that chick laughed in his face after he asked her to leave her husband and marry him. The look on his face gets me everytime.

this was probably *the* best/overlooked film of 2001. I saw it at Sundance with Andy Garcia sitting in front of me at the theater. Very surreal and very cool. I hope this becomes some cult movie in the future.

Mick was very good here. "Performance" is the only time I've seen Mick give a better performance than this. Of course, he's had a very spotty acting career ("Freejack," anyone?). That scene with Anjelica Huston was devastating, and he played it perfectly.

I still prefer him in his other job, but as long as he's onscreen, I wish he'd make more quality films like this instead of coasting on his Mickness.
