On this film, he was wrong.<br /><br />Still, I never agree with any critic 100%. Hell, Ebert gave The Usual Suspects fewer than two stars.<br /><br />Honestly, I don't know how someone can not like this film.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-76565010212272116432012-03-05T15:59:07.104-06:002012-03-05T15:59:07.104-06:00I saw this movie a few times over the years on bro...I saw this movie a few times over the years on broadcast TV when I was growing up and I liked it every time. Some time in the 80s I saw a Siskel and Ebert episode where Gene Siskel just went off on how crappy he felt this film was, especially the song in the middle of it. Of course, the man's favorite film was inexplicably Saturday Night Fever, so I never really understood where he was coming from that much.<br /><br />I had to laugh at your "Why not to watch" comment and that inspired this comment about Siskel.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-17518364595445905312012-03-05T00:29:15.832-06:002012-03-05T00:29:15.832-06:00I think I'm a little more attuned to The Sting...I think I'm a little more attuned to <i>The Sting</i>, but that might simply be that I saw it first.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-49141422228082046222012-03-04T20:54:17.479-06:002012-03-04T20:54:17.479-06:00I enjoyed it more than The Sting and like the robb...I enjoyed it more than The Sting and like the robbery scene,when one of them forgets how to say it and looks up the dictionary in the bank,it's hilarious.Also the memorable line:"what the hell are these guys??" when they are closely followed and could not get away.Davidhttp://www.tasteofcinema.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-62868526159485137352012-03-03T19:03:40.870-06:002012-03-03T19:03:40.870-06:00Yeah, I made the decision when I started that my r...Yeah, I made the decision when I started that my reviews should be good enough that you can determine a rough idea of my score by reading them. I understand the appeal of a numerical rating. I just wanted to go in a different direction with this.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-54377394197490988742012-03-03T18:09:17.205-06:002012-03-03T18:09:17.205-06:00Yes, the chemistry is there alright, I can't d...Yes, the chemistry is there alright, I can't decide which is better, The Sting, or this one. <br />Cool that they named the film festival after the Sundance kid.<br /><br />Have you made a conscious decision not to include a rating score on your blog?

Still, I think it ties the opening sepia-tone and the closing freeze frame nicely.<br /><br />Of the two montages, though, I prefer the bank robbing in Bolivia one. It's a lot more fun.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-66818735380262333052012-03-03T16:08:36.448-06:002012-03-03T16:08:36.448-06:00The only thing I didn't like about this movie ...The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the New York montage sequence that seems to go on FOREVER and feels totally out of place. And then, of course, the "raindrops" sequence goes on a wee bit too long. Otherwise, it's fantastic.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-19629079024902649952012-03-02T21:28:36.894-06:002012-03-02T21:28:36.894-06:00Well, Joy says she's game...Well, Joy says she's game...SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-42821738135438828072012-03-02T20:26:39.174-06:002012-03-02T20:26:39.174-06:00If Etta's not available, I'd like to have ...If Etta's not available, I'd like to have a chance at Joy.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.com
