never will there be a movie such as this

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2000)

I am unfortunately reduced to 1000 words in commenting on this movie because i could seriously go on for days. I love this movie. It is my hands-down favourite movie of all time. It is intelligent, suspenseful, dramatic, beautifully acted (kevin spacey, kevin spacey, kevin spacey - and a seriously incredible supporting cast!) and one of the more original ideas of the past 5 years. Many followers came and they fell - hard! The idea of five criminals (short, tall, physically challenged - great variety!) working for the big guy - the crime kingpin himself, whom every criminal has heard of, is so cool. I mean, you think: is there really a big criminal kingpin that all baddies know and fear? man oh man, i am salivating just thinking about it. i think i will go watch it again. My suggestion is to buy it on dvd, it is cheap and the film commentary by the directors is really cool and gives you some neat trivia. Until next time...
