First Claude Chabrol film I watch, and it's about time. Great character driven plot, it's not about a crime that leads to a detective story, it's about the influence of the crime on each of the characters. The actors are true lab rats in this equation, and the crime just comes to put them all on the same destructive path.

I'm certainly watching more of Chabrol in the future.

Intense, set in the ghetto of Naples, with the mafia and all that. Deep storylines, and apparently all true. It was based on a book, and now the author has gone into hiding because the true Naples mobsters are out to get him.. :(

Very, but not something I'd watch again for quite a while. It was pretty heavy..

^ Loved it, but seen it far too many times.

Some of the best quotes ever have originated from that movie though :D

It won me over, Michael Cera playing an awkward teenager and Ellen Page playing a hip teen that uses witty slang like "I'm going to bounce". :rolleyes:

Then from nowhere I found myself thinking damn, this is good fun. Typical oscar bait type film though, but I have to admit.. I did enjoy it.

Its because of that movie that I now own a hamburger phone :laughing:

Nick Cage is a weird one. Seems like for every 5 shite films he's in, there's always one that's brilliant and blows any doubts I had about his acting ability out of the water. This is one of the latter - one of the most depressing films of all time draws such a great performance from Cage (best portrayal of a compulsive alcoholic I've ever seen). Liz Shue does a great job too, so it's not a one-man show by any means.
