Brace Yourself for Jack!!
Real AWSOME movie worth watching jack in this movie.Best scene would be the early morning 4am walk............
Sunglasses- I want to know who made those sunglasses he wore in this movie? And maybe, where can I get a pair?
When I was a little boy, I marvelled at the stories of my Uncle, who told of a travelling cinema. Where each saturday afternoon, he, as a child, himself marvelled at his heroes on the screen, while sitting on a plank for a seat. His stories gave me the same love he had for movies, and as I am older now, I am glad to have lived and seen, Jack Nicholson. In this movie particularly, he is as magnificant as he usually is, but, collectively, the performances are beyond words. It is an encounter with these people, we are lucky to share, for until I ever find something better, this to me, is movie making perfection. A masterpiece.
Very few movies have everything,this is that rare exception.
Characters who are utterly believable,dialogue beautifully written,first-class acting and a dog who nearly steals the show.If you need a boost on a bad day,look no further.
It's 10yrs old now and it has not lost any of its freshness.A truly great movie and a high watermark in the career of JN.
