It's worth seeing.

I'm sure it very well may be, will trust you on that. Learned all I need to know from reading the plot on wikipedia, good enough for me.

That's a tad presumptuous, but whatever.

BastardofYoung · 04-07-2012, 04:52 PM

why do I need to see it? I know how it ends. Just all the parts leading to that ending don't appeal to me.

My least favorite too, I think they were a bit off the whole last decade.

Barton Fink is my favorite one of theirs. Very surreal.

A little disappointing compared to the first in the trilogy (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) as there is a change in director and the film is not as oppressive as it's first instalment.

The final instalment was definitely an improvement on the second part but still had some elements I felt were a little underwhelming. However there is a palpable sense of tension throughout the film and the character and portrayal of the main character was superb throughout and all in all it's a trilogy well worth your time if you love heavy, intricate drama.

I was left a little underwhelmed by this although the final third was damn good. The acting is understated but perfect for the movie and the fact that it is based upon a true story adds gravitas to this tale of covert operations and political intrigue and the Stath opposite De Niro? Well it works I have to say.

Let me explain why this pretty bad movie needs to be seen by the likes of you.

This dude falls from the top of the ship as it's going down and totally does like 20 flips when his legs hit the propeller
Sterotypical Italian friend
Stereotypical Irish friend
Kathy Bates as a southern cow
This bad ass old guy with a sweet pistol
Brandy. Even when faced with death
Violin as the ship goes down. It was actually a nice touch
Profanity in front of a 100 year old woman
Selfish door hogging by Kate Winslet
Irish dancing
Dead frozen babies
Naked painting

With a list like that, you can't go wrong!
