Well, apparently the rest of the world agrees with you but I didn't like it.

Primarily because, and I know this was intentional but,
Spoiler for Spoiler:
the protagonist was such a sleazeball douchebag of an unlikeable character that it was painful watching him. Also, the plot was a bit stupid. Why did he want to kill the politician in the first place? That bit is never explained. What's worse is, why does he suddenly drop that ambition altogether and become fixated on the hooker? That has even less of an explanation and was a poor excuse for a "plot turn".


I did like the cinematography and the way the film captured 1970's NYC.

lol yeah, next he will say that Raging Bull is crap and overrated as well.



I finally got around to seeing The Expendables and I really enjoy all the little insider jokes being tossed around. It was good for some mindless action fun.

Maybe crap was a bit harsh but I did not particularly enjoy it.

Perhaps there is some important aspect of "great" film that I'm under- or mis-appreciating because I did not like "Mulholland Drive" and that was also, apparently, amazing.

that's a bit more understandable. You could say that you didn't like/enjoy it but to chalk it up as crap is a bit much.

I agree with you on Mulholland Drive after it was finished and I was like? that's it? why? what's the point? another example of visual masturbation from a pretentious director.
