96 minutes? couldn't they make it a full movie? I hate seeing movies that are less than 2 hours, it feels like a waste. I still plan on seeing it though, it looked cool, plus Ed Harris is awesome.

if you fast forward through the sex scene, will you miss any important parts of the storyline? girlfriend and I want to watch it but those scenes make her uncomfortable.

Ed Harris is awesome in it....The movie ends rather abruptly without any feeling of resolution, but you still in a way leave the film feeling as though its completed...I felt as though the character himself couldn't have done anything else after the scenes leading up to the end and thus there would be no basis of storyline to continue the film...

So yeah, I liked the length...I felt fulfilled by the film...Any longer and it would have dragged on too much I think.

Seeing as you find out the secret of TOM's implant during one of the sex scenes. . .Id say YEA - they are kinda important. But if you dont mind not knowing whats going on in a movie - by all means skip it.

And - the scene on the stairs pretty much started out as a rape. . .

Good fights , but I thought it was not the best acting, the whole movie has a cheese factor to me. it seemed cheaply made and sub par acting.

[quote="Vlad_Drak":d6108]Good fights , but I thought it was not the best acting, the whole movie has a cheese factor to me. it seemed cheaply made and sub par acting.[/quote:d6108]yeah I agree. But I think that's what made me want to watch it more. As you are watching, you'll see scenes that are just HILARIOUS even though they're supposed to be quite serious...example: when he runs back to the house with the shotgun in his hand even though his foot is fucked up. Yet somehow, he thinks his 2 mile limping will beat a huge SUV back to his house

I thought thte movie was kind of retarded.. The movie had a good concept but it was fucked up by dialogue that sounded like it was written by a grade fiver (not helped by the bad acting) and cinematography that was just plain retarded. But hey, I still kind of enjoyed the movie..

Really enjoyed this movie.. Very intriuging story and great performances by Viggo and Harris. The killing scenes were quick but brutal, really well done film.
