Seriously, about 90% of the run-time consists of the two characters bobbing up and down in the ocean and NOTHING HAPPENING TO THEM.

I'd say it was a waste of my time but, hey, it's not like I had anything better to do.

Seriously? I thought that movie was amazing. As far as it looking like it was shot by film students, you do realize it's an extremely low budget independent film, right? It was made a married couple who worked full time while filming it and shot the movie on the weekends.

And what inaccuracies are you talking about exactly?

It was really good. Going to have to see it a few times in order to understand it better.

so here is biopic based on the life of "Charlie Bronson"...not the actor but rather an eccentric and probably insane victim of the UK's prison system....for me being an American this was a great and fascinating look into a man i had never heard of....and even after doing some research and realizing that the film is pretty loosely based and in many ways quite fanatic.....the film was really stellar....and the acting of Tom Hardy in my opinion is award worthy

Really funny but I think you have to have seen Troll 2 to find it entertaining.

I think I had seen half of it on TV once, but yeah, great old movie that has held up very well through the years...

Love this movie. I've seen it twice and I'm still full of questions.

I love the Sting. Great acting and a good soundtrack too.

Yeah, a really good movie. I have to say Wild Strawberries is my favorite Bergman movie though. It's a much better depiction of existentialism in my opinion, I don't think it would fulfill your crave for medieval witch-burnings though.

It was pretty awesome, much better than the Half-Blood Prince. 7.5/20

It was really great but not up there with my favourite Tarantino movies. Still great though. 8.5/10

I've never been a Tarantino fan. The one movie I've seen by him that I enjoyed was Pulp Fiction. Both the Kill Bills, Inglourious Basterds, and Death Proof all did very little for me. With that being said, do you think I should give Reservoir Dogs a shot? How similar is it to his later movies?
