~ The acting was good, I believed everybody was
who they were supposed to be, and i was caught up
in these people's lives.

~ The action scense were engrossing...the violence
was 'real' violence, not hollywood violence. When
folks got hit or shot or even fucked, I felt it
in my seat. The physical parts of this movie were
definitely conveyed to me, the viewer.

~ I dug the POINT the movie was making to me,
which was a simple one: a dude who used to be
fucked up is trying to get his life together and
outrun his past. And - unlike a lot of Hollywood
fare - the movie didn't DODGE the central question
of the first part of the movie, which was 'is this
guy really the fucked up cat ed harris says he is.'
we find out

::: spoilers :::

yes, he is.


i liked that. i liked the question of whether or
not his family would take him back. i liked the
fact that his wife - on a primarl level - liked
the killer side of him (see, the sex scene on
the staircase.)

i recommended this movie to everybody that asked
me about it.
<--- that new hotness...
