Its impossible to find anyone with a critical eye unless its Jackie Chan movies, heh. I still thank him for that, because he's taught us that "doing your own stunts" doesn't necessarily mean the whole movie is all that great. One day we'll apply it to all the other ones.
As far as HOFD, I did like it alot better than Hero, and thought visually it was a much stronger and better choreographed movie as well.

I'll finish up tonight.  I didn't thinkit was bad, but I wouldn't give it an A+. Geesh, its about a bunch of guys fighting over a woman..literally, its not a metaphor for something else.
Anwyas, have yu seen A River Runs Through It? I'm venturing you'd love that movie. I think its an excellent film, and if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.

Confidential (1997) 9.0 9.121 Dark City (1998) 9.1 Now these are the movies I really love. Man on Fire is the best of Tony Scott's films and the best english language film of last year. :wink: Many critics seemed not to like it because of the torture scenes, but I didn't have any problem with that. Some may disagree with me on this, but torture does work, and I wouldn't judge someone like Creasy for using it when a little girl's life is on the line. They deserved what they got. :wink: That's what I really loved about this one. I understood Creasy completely.

I'll finish up tonight. I have to say... I didn't get what the big deal was with Infernal Affairs. It was good, but it wasn't great. I'll probaly get around to watching it again though. *shrugs*
