This movie was hugely popular when it came out

I think I saw this three times in the theater, and then another four on DVD because my wife's uncle is obsessed with this movie.
Everyone I knew was talking about this movie when it came out. Perfect blend of suspense and action.
Watched it today for the first time since 2005. I understand the 6.7 now. The acting really doesn't hold up. The story was always hogwash, but it's still a fun ride. It's too bad about the acting not holding up though. I don't remember it being so bad in 2004. Maybe it was because I was younger and didn't care as much?

It's because the Freemasons didn't want the movie to last.

A 6.7 rating on IMDb is actually pretty good and it's now at a 6.9. So one may argue the movie is still popular not only after its release but improved after this post.
