I just saw it. Thought it was great and actually thought Leo did a great job. Kinda reminded me of him in Basketball Diaries. I gotta go back and watch the original again, it's been a few years and I don't really remember all of it.

The thing I am shaky about is whether or not I like how the ending came...because they handled a certain character MUCH differently in the new one.

I like the internal affairs ending a lot more.

This ending was a necessity though based on how they handled the Damon character. The original ending just wouldn't have worked without the turn thing.

I've had the same all time favorite movie for 23 years, but from what I've heard so far about this one, I'm optimistic that it may be in contention.

Just curious, what movie is that?

***Some Spoilers***



I disagree. The very last scene is a lame typical american tie up all the loose ends / don't let the bad guy get away with it ending.

You can get it from netflix. I don't know your local rental place well enough to know if you can get it there or not [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
