I wasn't a big fan of this back in the day, although it had some strong performances, Gabriel Byrne especially. I would imagine it perhaps works just as well if you are aware of how it ends. The twist came across as silly and hard to swallow to me, but if you can accept that, you might enjoy the thing.
shareI think so. It's not high art, was never meant to be. I've watched it at least 10 times. It's a fun flick, even just for Benicio Del Toro.
shareI haven't seen this in well over twenty years but I recall not being able to understand a word del Toro was saying - it was the days of VCR, with no subtitles available.
shareYeah that was the point. He purposely spoke like that. Good fun.
shareYeah, I thought it might have been... it's been a long time and my memory is hazy!
shareI had the ending spoiled for me before I saw it, but I still found it enjoyable.
shareI've re-watched this film so many times I've lost count. Usually whenever it came on television I wouldn't flip the channel if it were on.
Even knowing the ending, it's an entertaining experience where you're constantly looking for additional clues and tidbits of information to help put the whole thing together.
It's rewatchable for me.
shareI watched for the first time knowing that Spacey was the "bad guy". Distracted from the immersion a little bit, but was still enjoyable to watch.
