Weston L An underrated gem of the early 2000s. I particularly liked the villains, two agents of chaos even to themselves. De Niro is good as always so is Kelsey Grammar, in a fun and worthy character for him. Edward Burns steals the show with intensity and flair. Don't let the tomato score fool you this is a fun film with a theme the is far more relevant now than it was when it was made. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Test T I watched this on DVD recently. There were a couple of things in this movie from 2001 which I really liked. Firstly, even though I was watching a DVD the quality of the images was excellent. The lighting is perfect, making the indoor and night-time scenes crisp, clear and detailed throughout. The daytime scenes look amazing too, and I was particularly impressed by the quality and realism of the street chases, which made me feel like I was actually there. The character development is also excellent, and I found myself quickly connected with all of the main characters. Robert De Niro's performance oozes charisma in nearly every scene, and was a joy to watch. I thought the story was good, and very well executed, maintaining my full attention right to the end. Sadly, the nature of the story raises public contravercy, and in this regard I think the film takes it's self far too seriously. There are even two documentaries included on the DVD which explore these issues. This social commentary is leading to poor critical reviews, which I think is very unfair given how exciting and entertaining the film is. In summary, I think viewer needs to focus on the film for what it actually delivers, and for that I can highly recommend it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review FilmGamer Possibly a hidden masterpiece. This is one of those films written and directed by one person that would be generic if not made at such a specific time. This is the largest-scope film I've seen that's closest to pre-9/11. There is a good twist and good commentary, the ending is a bit rushed but it's a crazy film that crams in media commentary mixed with the American dream. Fun stuff in a fluffy package that gets pretty dark at times. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review DMC M I watched this on a flight recently and OMG - talk about rotten! I have never seen a movie so poorly done. Incredibly violent and far fetched with a ridiculous storyline. Bazar casting too. Why does Robert De Niro do these shitty movies? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Audience Member Started off good, but (SPOILER) De Niro's character dies halfway into the movie, which not only badly hurt the film and afterwards kinda got boring, but also falsely advertises this as a De Niro film and is more of Edward Burns' movie. It had a good story and good acting, but if De Niro didn't die, it would of been SO much better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I think the film works well enough as a satire in the world of media, murder and comedy, completely underrated.
