I love it when Smith's mate says his daughter turned him in as an agent of Goldstein; he didn't even know he was one. They're so insidious. He's so proud of her. Incredible moment.

Did you read my review of it in "The Couch Potato" by chance?
I watch dark films all the time but they still fulfill some aspect of entertaining me by at least holding my interest. Yes I did read your review, it made me return to the movie to see if I still felt the same way actually. I did.
