This film reminded me of "The Whole 9 Yards", with one difference. It wasn't as good. Matthew Perry plays basically the same character he played in "The Whole 9 yards". Elizabeth Hurley is great to look at and funny at times, but never made me laugh all that much. I gave this movie a 5 because of lack of being hilarious like "The Whole 9 yards". I guess you can tell I liked "The Whole 9 Yards" a lot. It was very funny. Matthew Perry or Friends fans might enjoy this more than I did. So if you want a few laughs, and just a few, go watch this movie. If you want to laugh a lot, go rent this movie that I saw a couple of years ago. It was called....."The Whole 9 Yards"!

Great Movie
10 February 2002
This is the best film I have seen in a long time. Washington was great. Woods was great. Duvall was great. Heche played a great witch. She was so evil. Even the boy that played John Q's son was great. The film was almost a tear jerker for me, I had to hold them back.
Despite the liberal lean to the movie it was still great. The movie seems to be pushing too hard for a national health care system. I saw two versions of this film, and the first version had a lot of liberal mumbo jumbo at the end talking about how many Americans don't have insurance and how many can't afford it and how we need a national health care system. But the final version they removed all that. I guess they didn't want to make all republicans mad about that.
But don't worry about the political messages in the film. Go see this movie!

A pretty good movie.....but far from great

The previews that I saw for this movie said one thing: "This movie is going to be terrible!" But the movie was all right. Entertaining and funny at times, the movie is 10 times better than "Battlefield Earth". (But thats not saying all that much is it?) I do have to admit one thing, one thing made this movie worth seeing. That one thing is finally getting to see Halle Berry's bare breasts. It was a pleasant surprise. Travolta does a good job playing a bad guy as usual. The computer hacking got old fast, but everything wasn't blowing up constantly like in "Broken Arrow" so that's good. Go see this movie if you are a fan of Travolta, or bare breasts.
This movie is a lot better than people think it's gonna be.

Danny DeVito is funny. Martin Lawrence is hilarious. So why did everyone think this movie was going to be stupid? It was a very funny movie. Yes it is kind of silly, but silly is good. A rich guy and a low thief at war over a ring might not sound funny, but it was. DeVito and Lawrence are a good comedy team and made me laugh a lot when they were both on screen. Go see this movie. It's good.

Very average movie...
15 January 2001
The movie was very average. Some drama and suspense, but just average. Jack Nicholson fans might enjoy it more than I did. It seemed kind of long and drawn out at some parts of the movie, but I kept watching because I wanted to see just what was going to happen.
