When Tom Hardy called Leo's son a "little bitch", the guy behind me just said "you ****er". It wasn't like he was being obnoxious either, it just sort of exploded from his lips. Leaving the theater, everyone looked totally shell-shocked. They were all just staring at their feet and not talking. It was an incredible experience with an incredible film: one I won't forget. I intend to go at least a few more times.
