    I get it. All time Hackman performance. Car chase scene is good but also benefits from being one of the early versions of this type of scene.  Drags at times. Entertaining but I can’t say this is one I’ll go back to I’ve and over again.

    Hell yea this rules. Paul Newman is so goddamn cool and Tom cruise already seems insane by this point in his career. Just a couple of dudes hustlin pool throughout the states. What more do you need. That shot of Paul Newman looking at his reflection in the ball was so dope. Marty in his bag. 87/100

    This movie fuuuuuuuucking rocks. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time Denzel matches gene hackman so well, there are tons of “that guys”, the score rules, there’s not a dull minute in this movie. There’s literally three mutinies. HELL. YES. The dilemma at the center of the movie is actually really interesting too, and while I pretty strongly landed on Denzel’s side, you can understand hackman’s side and his frustration as well as the actions of some of the crew. Even the scene of them all boarding the submarine rocks so hard. GO BAMA ROLL TIDE.  92/100

    Love the courtroom drama genre and this one is so interesting set in France where the legal process looks slightly different than the US. Thought the performances were great and the kid was awesome. Love the ending and visual style. A little slow moving at times but overall I liked this movie a lot. 87/100
