i enjoyed it very much...

im still a little eh about the whole exchange between thandie newton and matt dillon (the frisking/dehumanization + ryan later saving christine from near death)..i see why it happened--i guess it just felt tacked on to me...

thandie newton wore it the fuck out..as did matt dillon, terence howard, and don cheadle. i also loved michael pena (the mexican locksmith) and shaun taoub (sp? the persian store owner) theyre storyline was the best one out of the bunch. and, don't even act like you weren't flipping out when the store owner shot th elittle girl..that was too much.

but it was a damn good movie..one worthy of ALL the praise its getting and i hope that its nominated come oscar time (im seeing dillon, howard and newton with best supporting nods)
