Left the cinema feeling like The Disappointed.

Run of the mill cop shoot 'em up.

Nicholson is terrible - a parody of himself with that stupid leer.

saw this at the Drive In on Saturday night and agree it was really disappointing (well the story line was disappointing - like, there wasn't one!) must say i did enjoy leo's and matt's performances but overall did not think it was up to all the hype and dh fell asleep 1/2 hour in! :roll: next we're going to see my pick World Trade Center

Seen it the other day, I didn't think it was too bad. The ending seemed abit rushed, which is strange for a movie that is 2 1/2 hrs long. I thought it was a cop story/organized crime yarn with a twist. Was definetley Leonardo's best performance since The Basketball Diaries. He stole the show.

Wow! That was at Gepps Cross I presume? I don't know of any other drive ins left in Adelaide.

Damn, I miss those places....

- sitting out the front of your car with beer & deck chairs
- sneaking mates in the boot of yer car
- trudging across the neighbouring field to the snack bar at intermission, to the chagrin of those watching the other movie
- turning your radio to the movie frequency whenever you drove past, giving you a 30 second snatch of the movie

Movies just aren't the same any more :(
