Saw this movie and I must say that it's quite good. I am not really a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, but in this movie he did well, but I think his performance was really good. The plot was also quite good. The only thing I don't like in this movie is that it ended with a big cliche ending and that made me say "awwwwww". Overall I am sure that you won't be disappointed by this movie. I recommend it to anyone who like psychological thrillers or just guys who like great acting.

It's a late night, you have a bad feeling, and you just want to see something cool, and you pop into a theater, this is it. Unfortunately, it's the movie you wanted to see, that is actually this one, it's made from a "fake" Michael Bay film. It's a great film, but not the best movie in the world. There is a lot of violence, but it's not just "fight scenes", you get to see other, more meaningful parts of the movie, where you can see the other actors giving an amazing performance, and that's what matters. There is a great performance, that was made in the movie, but I don't want to tell you the whole story, I'm just going to say it was really well done, the story is very simple, but the movie is well acted, and the whole story is quite interesting. The whole story is like a road trip, and you get to see the other characters, in the most interesting and great part of the movie, with the two main characters. I think, the cast was really great, and the performances are great, but I think, the movie wasn't as good as it could be. It's not a very bad movie, but it's not a great movie either. There are some flaws with the movie, but it's just not very good, it has some flaws, but it's not terrible, the acting is really good, the story is interesting, the characters are really interesting, the ending was great, the movie was really good, and I really recommend it. 8/10

Well, the first thing that jumps out about this film is the music. The opening sequence, with a jazz orchestra, "Sugar" by Wyclef Jean, is absolutely brilliant. Then, at the very beginning of the film, with the seemingly slow-moving "Something About Mary" and "Disco Inferno," it's a complete switch, with the opening themes of "Sugar" and "Disco Inferno" in a very fast-paced, jazzy tempo, as well as the terrific "Disco Inferno" theme. The second thing that jumps out is the writing and directing. Director Richard Fleischer (who directed the great "Adaptation" and "Loser") has a nice style of filming, and his directing is very good. However, it's the writing that is really, really, really, really good. There is a lot of humor, and a lot of really great writing, especially for a thriller. The writing is very funny and entertaining, the story is very original, and the characters are very likable. The characters in this film are very interesting and interesting, with a lot of depth and a lot of development. You really don't know who the characters are, and you can relate to them. "Sugar" is the best performance in this film. Another character is a really great performance by a young, very talented actress named Anna Kendrick. The two main characters are very likable, they're likeable, and they're very likable. Their relationship is really nice, and they're so fun to watch. Then, the supporting characters are also very good, especially that guy who seems to be an FBI agent. The two main characters are very likable, and the supporting characters are really good, and they're very fun to watch. The acting is really great, but "Sugar" is really great for the writing. And the story is really good. "Sugar" is a very funny, very interesting thriller that's really very good, and it's one of those movies that you can watch over and over again. It's really, really good.

I've heard so much about the movie and read so much of the negative reviews that I thought it would be a bad movie. But I thought it was a great movie! It was not pretentious or stupid, it was realistic and well-written. This is a story about a grieving woman who doesn't know what to do with her life and lives her life to the fullest, whether it be out of fear, to get the money or to make love. It was very interesting and the whole movie had me on the edge of my seat. I was pleasantly surprised that she didn't make the decisions and that it was all her own. I've heard that people didn't like the ending, but I thought it was great. I enjoyed it very much. Overall I would say it's a good movie, I would watch it again. It was just well-written, well-acted and the story was unique. It's not the type of movie I would watch a million times, but it was entertaining and I'd recommend it.

Cannes, January 20, 2001. The first of four films by Norwegian filmmaker Morten Tyldum, "Self-Defense" is the kind of intriguing film that leaves you thinking. The story involves a troubled young man (Norwegian actor Attenborough) who is currently on trial in Oslo for the murder of a taxi driver. The character's trial is being broadcast on TV and the audience is drawn into the drama and into the character's mind. The film is set in an Oslo that is full of the close-knit community. One of the characters is a cop who is not sympathetic, and another is a sex offender. These two people are the most dangerous elements in the movie. The film is a depiction of how the justice system is very corrupt, especially in Oslo. The judge is part of the corrupt system. The trial is not fair, and the decision is never valid. The prosecutor is the person who does the dirty work, which makes the movie interesting. I think Tyldum is a talented director and I found his films extremely entertaining. "Self-Defense" is worth seeing, but one must not expect anything special.

A good film about a society in transition. For me, this is the best of the western films. The humour is certainly not the norm for western films. The direction is a little amateurish. And the acting is not that good. But in the end it's an intelligent film. The atmosphere is great. I really liked the characters. I recommend this film for those who like film that mixes humour and drama.

This movie is my first movie review. So, I have to give a lot of credit to the film makers. I was so bored at first, but then I finally got hooked, and I watched it a second time. I really enjoyed the movie. Some might find it slow. I didn't feel that way at all. I thought it was a really good movie. The actors were great. I thought the story was a little confusing at times, but then I saw the movie for myself, and I understood it. I also liked the ending. I really liked how this movie ended. It was nice to see how everything turned out. I think the only thing I would change about this movie is that there was a little too much humor. If you want to watch a good movie, go and watch something that you will enjoy. This movie is a good one. I give it an 8/10.

No spoilers here, really. The performances are all great. I also liked the cinematography. It was nice to see the world in an American culture that looks a lot like mine, but in a different way. The story takes place in the present day and there are many flashbacks that show the development of characters in the past. The other thing I liked about this film was that it wasn't too heavy and depressing. The idea of the film is that there are some really bad things happening in the world today, but for some reason it is still possible to ignore them. The message of the film is that you have to do something to stop them. The acting is really good. I am looking forward to a sequel.

Is it a realistic movie? Yes. Is it a good movie? No. It's not the fault of the actors that they are so damn good. The problem is that the script isn't very good and I think the director wants to make a drama, but he is not able to create that feeling of what I call in my mind the "realism of the situation". It's a mixture of what I call "I liked it" and "I didn't like it" of the script. It's a movie that is worth watching and that will be remembered for years, but I don't think it will be a classic. Maybe it will be a movie that will be loved by a few people. And that's just fine. I hope the director has a good film with him. I do hope that he has a good script.

This movie was a surprise. It was a very enjoyable movie and the actors were great. I enjoyed the way the movie played out and the ending was quite unexpected. I think this movie is definitely worth seeing. The ending was very unexpected and very unexpected. It is a good movie and I would recommend it to anyone.

I really enjoyed the movie, a very good mix of mystery and action. The acting is very good, but I am surprised that Colin Firth won the Oscar. I like the use of color, in this movie, I like the great use of color, the book is a little different in this movie, but still very interesting. The movies is very exciting and you have to keep an eye on your head. The ending was also very interesting, I liked the end but didn't like the ending, I suggest you watch the whole movie. I am glad I watched this movie, it is definitely worth watching.

I had the pleasure of watching this film at a film festival in New York. The film was the winner of the "Best of the Fest" award and was the top film of the festival. This film has a lot to say and it is very well made. The cast is great and I really liked the writing and the acting. The directing was very good. The story line was very interesting and it was very believable. The film was shot in a very realistic way. This is a film that I will be looking forward to seeing again. I recommend this film to anyone who is interested in a film that is realistic and well made.

I really liked this movie. It was great for me. I'm not a huge fan of horror movies, but I found this one really good. The characters were really interesting. It's a shame the director did not continue the story, because I really liked the first part. I think the second part would be better, but it would be better if they just did the first part again. I would really like to see a continuation of the story. I think it's a good movie. I would like to see a sequel to it. I would really like to see it.

The film is set in the late 1960s, and stars Richard Gere as a local, white-collar homicide detective who knows nothing of his family history and insists on a close relationship with his daughter. Yet his partner (Jodie Foster) sees the danger in Gere's approach to the case and tells him that his daughter, one of the most promising students in his high school, has been abducted. This causes Gere to become more vigilant in his own life. I can't say I didn't enjoy this film, but it's really quite tame compared to other films of the same genre. While I enjoyed the performances, I wasn't blown away by the acting. The film is supposed to be light-hearted and funny. I found it to be dark, depressing, and sad. I don't know why this is. I suppose it's because it doesn't do a lot to make me laugh, but it is certainly not a comedy. I don't want to be too harsh on this film. The plot and the characters are well-written and the performances are very good. If you want a film that will make you laugh, you should check this film out. If you want to be scared, you should check this film out. I really enjoyed it.

I think this is one of the best films I have ever seen. I was not expecting a lot from it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I am not a big fan of Michael Douglas, but he was great. I was also surprised to see an older actor like Robert Duvall in the role. It was a great role. I thought the plot was good. It had a good twist at the end. I was also surprised to see a few Asian actors in the film. The film was a little slow in places, but it was not a problem for me. I think it was worth the price of admission to see this film.

This movie is great, especially for the first time. I can't believe this movie got such a bad reputation. I think the audience is getting tired of the same old story of the cops and robbers. This movie is different. It's more realistic and you can feel the characters' feelings. The actors are great and the movie is well acted. I think this movie is a great example of how a movie should be. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

The film "The Art of Self-Defense" is based on the true story of the assassination of President Kennedy. The film starts out with a very humorous and humorous opening, and the first hour or so of the film is very enjoyable. The second hour is also very enjoyable, but at some point it becomes a bit tedious and repetitive. The film has some good humor in it, but the humor is not enough to keep you interested in the film. The movie is not a bad film, but it is not a good film. I give the film a 9 out of 10.

I think this movie was great. The acting was great. The story line was great. The characters were great. It's like a combination of Goodfellas, Total Recall, and The Da Vinci Code. This is a good movie. If you are looking for a good movie to watch on a Friday night, then you should definitely give this one a shot. I personally recommend this movie to anyone who likes the type of movie that has a dark tone and a lot of action. This movie is definitely for the fans of dark movies and action/thriller. I give this movie 8/10.

While the premise of this film is a little far-fetched, it is extremely fun. As such, I found it to be worth watching.

This movie was great. I had no idea that it was based on a true story. I watched the movie with my boyfriend and he loved it. He said it was so realistic. I didn't like the ending because it didn't seem to tie everything up. But, I will admit that the movie was a little slow at times. But, it was great! The actors were great and I would recommend this movie to anyone.

I saw this film in the theater when it was first released. I had a hard time sleeping that night because of the intensity of the film. It is very hard to describe the intensity of this film. I think it is best to see it for yourself. I loved the film because it was very realistic and very well done. I thought the acting was very well done and I loved the chemistry between the main characters. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a film that is very realistic and well done.

I really liked this movie. It's a little different from the usual Hollywood fare, and I think it's a good way to introduce the concept of self-defense to a non-expert audience. I thought it was very interesting to see how the police deal with situations like these. I thought the acting was excellent and the storyline was very believable. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good, well-written mystery.
