This is an interesting movie that keeps you entertained while it tells the story of an airline attendant who gets caught in a tough situation. I like that she makes her own (elaborate) plans on how she wants to cope with a bad situation. I don't want to tell too much, so I'll leave it at that, except to say that it is a movie really worth your time.
I enjoyed this movie more than I had expected. While there is ample humor it is the dramatic aspects that really get to you. There aren't completely good or bad people -- although the girlfriend gets close to being a really bad person -- so you get a fuller idea of who each person truly is. This feels like a true story type of movie, but I don't know if it is.
This is a really good movie that I found stayed with me after watching it. Acting by James Spader is especially good. When you see this movie you will understand why they decided to make a TV series based upon it, complete with its' own spinoff, 'Stargate Atlantis'.
What's great about it: Plot and acting are especially good.
No matter how many times I've seen this movie, I still laugh out loud every time I watch it. Brad Pitt is in rare form as a gypsy with a largely undecipherable accent, and a memorable character named "Boris the Blade" (aka: "Boris the Bullet Dodger") proves to be almost immortal. This is a great 'caper' movie, as well as a gangster, boxing, and jewel heist movie. As for the squeaking dog -- well, you will just have to see it for yourself!
What's great about it: Wonderful writing and acting
This film is a curious mix of Sci Fi and a murder mystery, with great acting by Rufus Sewell and William Hurt and Keifer Sutherlin. I've seen it at least three times and still I find new understanding every time I watch it. The plot is not predictable and the set contains an interesting mixture from many different eras. Special effects are very well done. I heartily recommend this movie!
What's great about it: Acting is great, plot is intriguing
What's not so great: Need to watch it more than once to get it all
