Did I miss something?

Rating: 6/10 (26 November 1998)

I'm sorry to all those people who think it's a masterpiece. I just don't see it that way. All right, I saw it twenty years after it came out, but I found it difficult. I found the first hour or so slow, the last hour and forty minutes pretty good, but the best part of the entire film was the Russian Roulette scene. It was completely brutal, I know, but it was harrowing and awesome. I agree Chris Walken (what happened to him? - now all he does is shady evil guys) deserved his Oscar, but I didn't think too much of Meryl. DeNiro was as good as ever, though. A good film, but I think I saw it twenty years too late.
(Better than Platoon, though)
