I thought this movie was a good twist on a story I had read in the paper years ago. It was well written and acted. I was surprised to see some of the actors from the movie "The Usual Suspects". I think the script writer could have done better with the characters. The best was William Forsythe, who played the role of the lead detective. He really played the part well. I felt he was believable as the detective. I thought the plot was good. I thought the acting was good. The movie is not for everyone. I think it would be more effective if the movie was set in the 70's. I think it would be more accurate. But it is a good movie to watch when you are bored. I think this is a good movie for the whole family.

I'm not a fan of crime movies, but this one was good. I think that it was a bit too long and that there were some things that didn't make sense. But if you want to see a good crime movie, this one is good.

Dennis Quaid and Demi Moore are two high school students who have been in a car crash, and have no memory of the incident. They are reunited in a small town in the Midwest, where they find out that they are not the only ones who are having trouble with their memories. To make matters worse, they find out that the townspeople are also having trouble with their memories, and are trying to uncover the mystery of who is doing it. I found this movie to be rather funny. It was very amusing and made me laugh a lot. The story was good, but the humor was so fast, that I couldn't really laugh all that much. I found that the jokes were not that funny, and the story was quite simple. I found that the characters were very annoying and I did not like the fact that they were so uninteresting. The movie is also quite predictable. I didn't really like the ending, because I thought that the ending would be better. Overall, I did not like the movie, but I did enjoy it. It is a good movie, but I did not really enjoy it.

I enjoyed the film, but I can't understand why the critics didn't like it as much as the general public. The film was not boring and I'm not sure why it didn't go straight to DVD. The acting was good and the plot was not too complex. I think the critics were probably expecting something more than the plot and characters. I think the film was great, and it's definitely worth a look.

We all know that a lot of the movie is fiction, but this doesn't make it a bad movie. This movie does a great job of setting up a lot of the plot and letting you be in the movie, so you can feel like you are there with the characters. The acting is great. All the actors are great. It was really nice to see all the actors who are familiar with the actors who play in this movie, because they are all great. It is a very well written movie, and it was a very good movie. It is really hard to make a good movie, but this movie was really good.

The movie was alright, and it kept me on the edge of my seat, but it did not make me feel the same way I felt about the ending of "The Usual Suspects" when they reveal that he was innocent. It felt like a setup, and after the reveal, I was like "that's it. now what?" I have a hard time giving it a full ten, because I really enjoyed it, but it's a bit of a let down. If you're into crime dramas, and you like the likes of "The Usual Suspects", you might like it. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone though. It was a good movie, but I wasn't as in love with it as I thought I would be.

This is a fun movie that is quite entertaining, but a little too easy for the rest of us. If you are looking for a movie that is quite intelligent, the perfect movie for a movie night, check out "The Art of Self-Defense". The story is not very original, but the acting and the directing is superb. The characters are developed nicely, and there are many funny scenes that keep you laughing. The direction of the movie is quite good, and the movie does not really move too fast, but it keeps you entertained. There are many scenes in the movie that are quite funny. The movie is just as entertaining as "The Dark Knight", but a little bit more easy to watch. The main character is a genius, but the movie is not very original. Overall, this is a fun movie that is good for a movie night. Recommended.

This movie is about a man named Dean Cain (played by Michael Douglas) who is a high-profile lawyer who was convicted of murder in a case that went bad. He is now serving a life sentence for the crime. Dean is a very nice guy who is very good at what he does, but he is a very unhappy man who has lost his wife and his job. He is trying to go back to his old life, but he is just not getting any younger. He is getting closer to the end of his life, but the prison he is in is a very good prison. He sees this and realizes that this life is not as good as he thought. Dean is in for a very hard time, but he will try to keep his cool. But when he does, it will not be easy. I was very impressed with this film. It was very well written and acted. The plot was very interesting and the film was very well shot. The acting was also very good. There were some really good scenes in this film. The directing was also very good. Overall, I thought this was a very good film. It is a very interesting and well done film.

I enjoyed this movie. I like the way it's set up. It's not very real. There is a lot of real talk and a lot of stuff that's not real. But it's an entertaining movie. It's not that bad. It's not great. But it's not bad. It's good.

I saw this film in a theater and it was absolutely amazing. The cast was amazing, especially the actors who played the various characters. It was also a great idea to use the style of Hitchcock and make it a little more modern. If you are in the mood for a good crime film, this one is definitely a must see.

A woman who has been missing for a long time resurfaces to find that her husband has died in a tragic accident. She then learns that she is a high ranking member of the police force. She goes on a journey to discover the truth behind her husband's death and discover who the culprits are. After a series of events, a seemingly harmless man suddenly turns out to be a vicious criminal. The man then turns out to be an undercover cop. He then finds that the woman he had been searching for was in fact his wife and that they were a couple. This is a good movie, which keeps you guessing about who the killer is. It is also very entertaining, with many laugh out loud moments. If you are looking for a good mystery, this is the movie for you.

I really enjoyed this movie, but I think I could have done without the pointless flashbacks. It was so much better if the flashbacks were in the movie itself. I thought that the flashbacks were done better in the movie itself, because they were more organic and connected to the movie itself. Also, I think that the flashback were a bit more realistic, because they were so vivid and real. It was definitely better than the flashback in the movie, because I thought that they were more realistic, because they were more real. The characters were well written, but the actors did a good job. Also, I thought that the story was good, but the ending was a bit of a letdown. Overall, this is a good movie, but it could have been better. I rate this movie 7/10.

I liked the movie. It had a good story line, it was a good movie, but the ending was a bit weird. The twist in the movie was not that good. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes action movies. I think this movie would have been better if they didn't show the two guys at the end. It made the movie too long. I would give this movie a 7/10

I was curious to see this movie, as it was directed by the same man who directed the original "Man on Fire". I'm sure they would have worked well together, but in this case, they did not. It was good, but I wasn't too sure about the ending. In my opinion, the movie was a bit of a let down, but the ending was great. I gave it a 7 out of 10. It was an entertaining film, and I did not mind the ending. The movie is also worth seeing if you have never seen the original "Man on Fire", because I believe that the original is better.

I'm a big fan of Ryan Gosling's work. His films are always compelling and take me back to my childhood when I was an adolescent and I liked to see him play the hero. That is the reason I wanted to see this film, I was curious about how he would portray an older guy who is emotionally unstable. What I found was a very well written character who was smart and competent. It's a very cerebral film that works because of the characters. I was pleased with the writing because it doesn't dwell on the audience's emotions. It focuses on the characters and the journey they take and the way they react to each other. The performances are very good. Gosling and his co-star Ana de Armas are very convincing in their roles. They are a really great team and I recommend this film to anyone who is interested in a good thriller.

This film has a great cast of actors and a great story. I thought the story was well told and the casting was great. I especially liked the acting of Scott Caan and Jennifer Jason Leigh. I felt the story was very well told and was a very good movie. It is a very good story and has a great cast of actors. I think the story could have been better and the ending could have been better but overall it was a very good movie. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who is into thrillers or who is a fan of the actors.

I don't know what all the fuss is about, but I enjoyed this movie. It's entertaining, funny, and moves along at a fast pace. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was that the "climax" was too predictable. But then again, if you've seen the movie before you're not going to be surprised by it. The acting is good, and the story was interesting and well-done. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, entertaining movie to watch with your friends.

I really enjoyed this movie. I have to admit that the characters were quite unlikeable, but that was part of the point. The movie was very dark and I don't know what I expected from it. It's not that I had any idea what I was getting into, but the film just kept me entertained. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a good crime-thriller.

Wanted to watch a film which was true to life. The story line was interesting and the actors/actresses were good. The story is about a former criminal who is now a good cop who is going to be in the same position as his former partner. The story is quite simple and the acting was good. The ending was a little abrupt. The only problem was that the director/writer didn't go into the background of the actor/actress so you couldn't really see what was going on. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to watch a good film.

I'm really disappointed that some people are bashing this movie. This movie is really a comedy and not a drama. This is a movie that is supposed to be made with a dramatic movie in mind. I was really surprised how good the movie is, I was expecting it to be bad. The plot is really good and the way they used the movie was great. The ending was really good and it made me laugh. This movie is a really good comedy that is really good. I recommend it to anyone that likes comedy and drama movies.

I read some of the reviews and was disappointed. Some were so negative that I have to agree with them. First of all, I didn't see this film as a "thriller". I thought the film was more like a drama, and I'm not sure I'm a big fan of those types of movies. But I am a fan of many types of movies, so I can tell you that the film did keep me engaged. It did have a few good moments, but overall, I thought it was a decent film. I liked the plot, and the acting was great. I think the acting was good, but not Oscar-worthy. But if you can look past that, you will enjoy the movie. The characters were very interesting, and the acting was good. The plot was interesting, but I wasn't quite sure what the film was trying to tell me. I felt like it was trying to be a comedy, but it was more of a drama. I thought the ending was a bit of a let down, but that's just my opinion. Overall, I thought this was a decent film. I think I would have liked it better if I had seen it before I saw the movie.
