good film, really liked the way it was filmed, especially with the very quick transitions between everything and the representation of drug use, no actual shots of the use but very speedy show of preperation etc.

pretty depressing though, don't watch it if you're already down

sick film, watched it about 5 times now

I'm not saying it's not a good script, just I didnt quite understand it

Did his wife have diabetes, did she die? did he kill the right guy?

Great to take your girlfriend to.

"See, we could do it too!"
Actually, I haven't seen it, but it seems like sappy indie-ish film, which I gobble up, while hoping nobody else notices. Is it good?

he's been killing the wrong guys over and over for ages, and (i think, it's been a while since i watched it) they were all people that the geezer from the matrix wanted dead

Understanding something is not required to find it good. Also, I think total understanding is not an ultimate goal, when comes to movies/books/art - I don't mind being left in 'wtf?' state at all

The most depressing film is Happiness hold tight anyone who finishes watching that without a couple of scars on the arms.

no. she's probably dead. and her killer is probably gone and won't get caught.

I like asian psychological horror/crime films..but they have been failing me lately..When done well they are great, but alot of misses...
Sorum, Unborn but Forgotten, Acacia, Wishing Stairs, Wispering Corridors, Herapurple:Devil Godess (Was like a super B, 70's softcore porn..couldn't sit through it)

Memories of Murder was decent - as was Cure - Lady Vengence was good. A Tale of Two Sisters - Good

Also been missing with this particular brand of american psycho drama...
The Machinist(was so/so), Paranoia1.0...The Woodsman was ok if you don't mind watching propaganda aimed at peadophiles.

Best films for me as of recent - Cronicas(dark tale about the potential ill effects of sensational journalism), Cyclo (plot was tough, but the film captures a fantastically beautiful moment in Vietnamese culture, a disappearing base and yet romatic period - much like the film Vertical Ray of the Sun), Dark Days (documentary about people living beneth the NYC subway system), Last Life in the Universe, and The Legend of Leigh Bowery(Plastician

)..

I am a bit of a cinphile..as these are just some of the titles I've checked recently..If you ever want to know a film that is sort of like another film, maybe I can help..

Have you seen 'Candy'?

Best performance from Ledger imo
