Judging by the reviews and other comments, it seems like everybody hates this movie. I thought this was a great movie and one of the best ones I have seen lately. Anyone else agree?

I thought it was great.

i was very surprised to come here and see all the negative reviews, i was glued to the movie, a very intense first hour, slows down a bit but then just gains insanely the last part, there was one single music piece in the movie which really seemed out of place. much of the comments seem to be how its unrealistic, those same comments flourished around another movie i really liked (that outdoor wilderness flick with baldwin and hopkins) and i like the replies "its entertainment, not facts". i was just blown away by this, can't remember the last time i saw such a thrilling movie, at the end of your seat.

rocky road,
mistakes in miles far behind,
in the cold closed me out,
stranger in town,
where nobody wants me around,
guide me lord on this lonesome wanderin,
wish you could hear me darlin,
brighten my lost road,
im left in days of old,
longing for home.

I loved it as well, my mom too!

Yes. (I know, probably not!) :-)

But, there are endless inconsistencies and complete strains of character logic throughout this thing. You can tell that the script went through many revisions, leaving the characters zig zagging around just to fit the intentions of the screenwriters.

Basically, it's all about deciding on what the conclusion you want and moving the pieces around just so you can get there. Meanwhile, the characters fall by the wayside.

i didnt like this movie when i first saw it...but watching in 2021 I must say this movie has grown on me...it has a Lock Up(1989) feeling to it.

Are you 5?

I wouldn't say I love it but I like it a lot. Its elevated by the excellent cast.
