the first half of this film almost madee turn it off, but it pulled it slightly together in the end. it showed heart, not enough to make up for the bad writing and lack of characterisation in the first half. but enough to save it from being a god awful film
it's amazing to read the comments about these 'unlikeable characters' as I didn't think anyone was unlikeable. I mean they all had flaws and acted badly, but isn't that part of living?
I really loved the way it asked so many questions, and the fact that it says right up there it doesn't matter what the truth is, just what people believe. I'm not sure I agree entirely with that, in some cases the truth is a fact, but it works for this film
urgh. so pedestrian and predictable.
the role of Michelle could have been played by a lamp for all that Basinger had to do
not sure why this one got so panned on relief. it was pretty much what you'd expect from the premise. not fantastic, but enjoyable enough tosh
I enjoyed this. it didn't work overall, some was a bit messy but it also had some very emotional scenes that really hit. overall a solid bit of entertainment
one of my all time favourite films. I've researched it many times, slow and measured. a simple story well told and with great chemistry between Duvall and Costner.
interesting, I'd never heard of Martha Mitchell before. this is almost too short though, I'd like to know more.
I don't know if this is any way accurate but as a film it is very powerful. it doesn't shy away from the horrendous acts committed but yet has a strangely sympathetic approach.
very well acted and well worth a watch, but not an easy viewing
plodding and dull unfortunately. just didn't work at all for me.
this film didn't know whether it wanted to be a comedy or a horror, and so was neither.
but i didnt hate it, so I guess it wasn't terrible
Well that was just terrible. Terrible and God awful.
This starts out somewhat interesting, but then is seems to warp into two different films that just don't gel at all. Scenes are held for far too long in an attempt to be artistic maybe? I'm not really sure why.
The central premise is also a bit hmmmm, i mean if that's what you wanna explore then okay, but do we always have to center every film around American protagonists and make them be the good guys when obviously they are not.
Maybe of the film explored more of the can horrific deeds ever be forgiven, and the actual impact of those acts it would have had more meaning. As it is it's all just a bit what was the point.
This is a terrible film. Just terrible.
It certainly had a message to impart, but I prefer this to the glorification in other, later mob movies
Interesting, plenty of dark humour, and we'll told.
Everything was well done. But the story was just not for me, felt that id already seen the vengeance story in other guises, and would have liked a different take.
But then again it delivers what the trailer promised so I shouldnt complain.
Really enjoyed this one. Great script, and good acting. Kept engaged in the story, though Lockwood playing Freda was particularly good.
Well that wasn't scary at all.
First rewatch in a long time, and I really don't think it's as good as I remember. Everything is well done, looks and sounds great. But all a bit full of its own importance and men being menly.
De Niro gives a great performance, but Pacino is a tad too GREAT ASS! To work for me
Enjoyed this one a lot more than i thought i might. Good solid entertainment,will certainly watch the next one
Oh my God this is a terrible terrible excuse for a film.
Okay in a predictable way till the final third and then it descended into the worst film of the year
I mean none of it made any logical sense but I wasn't really expecting any logic, but this was just plain infuriating and awful
Very obvious. You won't be surprised by anything that happens in this film, but it's enjoyable enough
Some of the characters are so idiotic that they don't make sense, but what else would you expect from this film.
It is what it is, way too long and nonsensical but enjoyable enough while you're watching it. Especially if you switch off your brain.
I enjoyed this a certain amount. For such a long film though the story could have been better with development rather than sudden jumps in character interaction.
Also I now want more about the witchy woman. Best thing in it
I thought that this was going to be terrible. Then the hijacking, although racist and awful, was fairly well done and I thought maybe I've misjudged this film.
I had not.
Gets worse the longer it goes on and the more Norris is in it. Teerible
Full Nicholas Cage, with alien lovecraftian horror.
Totally preposterous, but for what it is it's well done.
Technically very good, action scenes were tense. Acting all very believable. But no heart and without that you just don't have a very good film
This was okay, but I was hoping for something a little more psychological or at least that explored what it might have been like rather than the straight forward horror this was
First two thirds of this film were fantastic, but let down by the final third unfortunately.
This was not a good film but it was bad in a vaguely entertaining fashion.
Hammy and full of cliche
