Very Underrated.


Great story and great perfromances, especially from Glenne Headly (Joyce).

Holy sh!t, it's the Begins fanboy! That's OK, I prefer it to Burtonman too.

Yes, this film is underrated. Willis pushes this film up to a firm 7 from me.

See you on the Begins board when I get all hyped up about The Dark Knight again. And go easy on Brownish.

I agree! I loved this movie. Saw it several years ago and just got the dvd...this is one that commands repeat viewings!

I think I've still got it on VHS somewhere. lol I also think it's a good, underrated movie. I used to watch it all the time. I haven't seen it in quite some time, though. I definitely need to get this on DVD and watch it again. Maybe tomorrow.

reply

Yes, very good movie, great performances by all the leads, especially Headley and Willis.

we must have seen totally different movies because the the movie i just watched was a total waste of time. (i even skipped at least an hour out of the middle!)i cant believe there arent more people here talking about how bad this POS is!!

It is. Definitely Headley makes this movie. Moore. 's acting is weak relatively especially, and it's not told well leading to it being slow and sort of collapsing at the end. Its weaknesses are evident but Joyce is so great and both their families are great supporting, I watch if it's on every time.

Yes, very VERY underrated film! From day one i never understood y it didnt do better than it did. I think it had to do with people not bein down with willis playin such a low-life. But i think he did a fantastic job in the role. I didnt think it was over the top at all cuz back then i new alot of guys that acted just like james. I think every1s performance was spot on. The only thing i didnt really get tho was cynthia's attraction 2 her husband. I jus dont see what on earth she saw in that guy lol! April151CT

Yeah, Cynthia's husband was the only mis-cast IMO. Very good movie, one of the best never understood why it didn't get it's proper RESPECT either. Low budget may be.. I often wonder if this is when Bruce and Demi started dating?!

really good movie. Headley, Keitel, etc.

"Cynthia's husband was the only miscast imo".

Yeah, it's a bit hard to believe that Pankow's annoying, mousy wimp is married to someone with Demi Moore's looks.

Mousy wimp....he was kind of a scumbag in this movie.

Heh, it's the old IMDb me again with the shorthand textspeak from 10 years ago LOL πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

And yes, I agree with me. This movie is VERY underrated. It should be at least a 7.5. I give it an 8. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Cool.

I agree -- this is a great '90s film, but you rarely hear about it.

The 90s was the truly last great decade for movies.
