why does everyone rate this movie so highly?

Rating: 1/10 (22 September 2006)

this movie sucks; it is clearly just s vehicle for Elijah wood is using to not be type cast as weak or weird (lotr, eternal sunshine, sin city). it glorifies the ILLEGAL behavior of these people. none of the actions made by any of the characters make any sense - stupid woman driving up to the massive brawl with her baby etc. Pete's death is completely unnecessary and clearly just a way for the film-makers to get out of the train-wreck they have created. none of the gangs ever seem genuinely worried about the police or law. the fights where the gsc are out-numbered are stupid, they could not possibly win a 6 vs 40 fight as they do at the train station. this movie is a terrible example of people cashing in on glorified crime. stop rating it so highly you stupid fight club worshiping losers.
