I thought the latest one was well done and met my expectations. *** (Three stars)  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-19-2002 10:52 AM                        I liked it a lot. It is what it is - a bunch of "cool" actors playing likeable bad guys in a Vegas heist story. Smart dialog. Story is full of holes but so what. I enjoyed it. Julia Roberts' talents might be a little wasted in her role but I didn't care. The movie is a lot of fun. ------------------ - dave Crab juice, or Mountain Dew?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Very good.  |  IP: Logged Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-27-2002 05:47 AM                        Attendance: Coburg Drive-in Theatre Sat 26 January 2001 Theatre 1. Skilltester results: 1 Minnie Mouse Doll. A stylish movie that is is considerably better made than the original. The script works well and you continually wonder throughout the film - how are these guys going to make this heist work? The plot is inventive and really well thought out. A strong cast helps make the film work. Quite entertaining. Verdict: 7 stars out of 10. cheers Peter  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-27-2002 08:31 PM                     Ive watched the original several times and have never fell asleep. I like it alot, but can see where everyone is coming from, thinking it is boring or whatever, as it is pretty slow I guess, but still entertaining nonetheless.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!
