Definitely under-rated. I haven't seen a Coen Bros film I haven't liked, though.

I've seen some trash lately. The one I remember most is some C-rate military movie called Hunt For Eagle One or some such. I had no idea it was going to be so laughable. The acting, the script, the direction were all eye-roll worthy. I spent the majority of the film panning it. 2/10
I saw Hunted with ... Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro and thought
it was fairly decent. Like 6/10 decent. It kept my attention. I enjoyed the wilderness traps and the 'hunting' aspect, but there were a couple places where the idea fell flat. Generally it was enjoyable though. Good combat, good suspense at times.
and 16 Blocks with Bruce Willis and Mos Def. I got a kick out of Mos Def's accent the whole time. He either really embellished himself or just let loose. But it was a decent story. 6/10 in my books. Bruce was kind of ... so-so but Mos Def (now known as Yasiin Bey by the way... why'd he have to 'grow out of' such a memorable name?) really stole the show, for what it was worth. Mos Def... best rapper -> actor to date in my opinion. That's not saying much, but I'm still saying it.
