Fun Stuff

Quotes:
Sly Morgan: My God, Tyron! The most delicate operation in the history of the world, and you have to go and stick your mentally retarded relos into the frame!
Ocker Tyron: This stupid bird thinks you're building a leisure centre! What's the problem?
Sly Morgan: Oh, no problem! None at all! Only that I'm in business with a brain-dead corporate yobbo, who's idea of clinching a real-estate deal is to send round a bunch of neanderthal nazis to organise a bloody pogrom!

If you haven't read the book, well you're going to enjoy this. If you have read the book, you'll either like or hate this.

It all depends how much of a "STARK" purist you are. I personally thought the book was far more enjoyable after watching this.

Some people I know didn't like it for it's strong environmental message. Personally I thought it was a good thing.

Go watch it. It's not a masterpiece of film but it is good entertainment.
