Good film, but not for everyone., 13 August 2003
9/10
Author: dethimages from Pennsylvania

This is a well written movie with fantastic performances by basically the whole cast. Is it a little boring? YES... but it is still a strong film. May not be for those who like a lot of action, or like things to make sense all the time. It's an aquired taste, and is not a good party movie, but I will always respect it as a very good film.
