“I first saw this movie about 15 years ago and watched it again the other night. What I once considered a very good film I now consider a borderline great film due to how movies in general keep regressing. It was so nice to see a movie with adult protagonists and a well-written, clever script that doesnu0026#39;t resort to explosions and mindless action stunts to cater to the MTV crowd.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI wonu0026#39;t give anything away at all — if you like clever, twisty thrillers like The Usual Suspects, then check this one out. The acting is excellent and the script is too. Note that Curtis Hanson (Bedroom Window, LA Confidential) wrote this one 22 years ago!”
