Just PERFECT soooo perfect

I STILL haven't seen this all the way through (keep catching it inwards)... but, the scene at the end where Holly Hunters character shoots Peter from behind and he turns and smiles...

That smile says it all. If I could sum up the acting job in that smile, it would be outstanding.

That grin is like the personification or epitome of the "really and truly twisted and evil morbity" that this man suffers from. In that frame, he looks like everything at once... Scary, evil, twisted, cool, seductive, satan himself... It was ingenius and sent shivers down my back.

I have to agree with you there, the slow motion smile reminded me of Ed Norton's grin in American History X after the curb stomp when he's being arrested and he raises his eyebrows and smiles. This scene was similar in a way except this character was a sociopath rather than a hooligan so it was possibly even more creepy.

"All right, rock-paper-scissors for who has to tell the whore to leave."

This movie was made almost 20 years ago. I doubt people that haven't seen it are too prevalent on this message board. I could possibly see your point if this was some new popular film but it is CopyCat from 95 so spoil away!

By that crappy logic you must have seen every movie from the past 100 or so years?

I have seen almost everyone that I want to see. I will not go on the board for something that I want to see and have not seen yet. When Elysium comes out I will avoid that board until I see the movie because I would actually care if somebody spoiled that for me. I would not care if somebody spoiled something that was 20 years old. If I really cared about it that much I would have seen it by now.
