How would you rate this movie out of ten?

Also, did at least some of its implausabilities especially towards the end bother you as did perhaps some of the melodrama, maybe a bit of overacting and hysterics etc and some goofs and a few plot holes perhaps (how come, for instance towards the end, a talented and intelligent teacher like Jeff Bridges' character didn't notice or suspect the weight of his car as explosives were put into its trunk?), or were you alright with the movie overall?

Cheers thanks.

I go e it a 4 out of 10.

It was okay when I watched it, but I was never interested in remembering it or watching it again.

8 or 9/10

For me I'd go with 6.5 or at most a 7, pretty good but far from perfect and has some problems and implausabilities, an extra point for a surprise ending.

9/10, it is one of the best movies in the genre. Even with some of the implausabilities. At the end of the film when Lang is burning the pictures, we do find out that he had indeed been surveilling Faraday and Brooke, and had possibly been surveilling for years leading up to the event, so he at least could have predicted many times what their actions would be and where they would be during the day.

7/10 pretty good.

at least an 8, one of the tautest paranoia thrillers out there with excellent Robbins and Bridges
