not to be rude, but Hunto, what do you do for work? You seem to either be lifting, in the pub, smoking or sleeping odd hours.

About halfway into it you realize that nothing of note has taken place yet, just unrewarded suspense. And again, like most suspensers, when the action does start taking place you feel disappointed because that element of fear and surprise are gone.

The final moments and the events leading up to them are nothing special. You're left with unanswered questions, which isn't really a bad thing for this movie, and what seems to be a motiveless "meeting." Basically it had a great beginning, good middle chunk, and a decent ending. With an hour and 25 minute run time it felt quite a bit longer than that; not to say that it was drawn out however.

If you've got the money and time, I'd say go see it. Be sure to bring a frightful chick who will cling to you during the agonizing moments of prolonged suspense.

Not rude at all erco. I am a stay-at-home Dad. I don't write much about being Dad, but I it's my job. My son has Aspergers, a mild form of autism. So we kept him out of school, I home school him together with his mom.
I worked for Mobiloil for a while, after working in refinery construction for years. Wife and I decided long ago that one of us would stay home and raise the kids- we didn't know it would be me! She loves teaching, I hated Mobil, or rather, the bosses and the schedule. A rotating day/night 12 hr schedule was the last straw, but I had been at odds with management for a long time. The work was hard work, but that was the least of the issues. So on that basis, that I'd be likely to tell em to fuck off, that we chose to keep me home and her work.

Coolio, I knew you worked for Mobil, I just didn't know why you left. I never noticed you post about teaching your kid and what not, it's usually figuring out ways you're gonna destroy your pipe smoking neighbors face and/or property =p
