A disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (17 July 2001)

I've seen this movie a couple of times, and I still don't understand why so many people love it so much. I so wanted to love this movie, but I just don't get it. I really liked the authenticity of the sets and props and such, and the initial fight scene was very good, but the movie bored me to tears! Perhaps I just don't enjoy revenge fantasies. Anyway, I couldn't help watching this and thinking "Russell Crowe really deserved the Oscar for 'The Insider', not this piece of Hollywood pap." But the rest of my roommates absolutely love this movie, so maybe it's just me.
I've got to file this movie under "Movies that were WAY too overhyped". I may have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been told how incredibly fantastic it was.
