I quite agree. I thought it was going to be absolutely gash, but was pleasantly surprised how it kept my interest throughout. Of course, the peasant desire to see authoritative public servants violently murdered was definitely at play, but there was a kind of floaty poetry to its message that I enjoyed.

I wrote about Law Abiding Citizen some time ago and said something like "It had the potential to be a very good movie and also a highly reflective one based on the moral grey area it was built on. However, they dropped the ball when it was perfectly clear that Gerard Butler's character had lost his sanity."

what!? no WAY it was better than The Insider.

I agree entirely - it was a very flawed film, but a good movie. It did have the nice effect of inciting some interesting conversation throughout though - means to me they did more right than wrong to me.

I have to see the new Coens', Up in the Air, and Precious which seems like a hell of a film.

From Paris With Love was exceptionally shit.

Watched The Fall last night, beautiful movie and shows that you don't need a green screen and cgi to make things look nice
