not a bad movie, a bit depressing, and Elizabeth Shue doesnt get enough credit for her oh so out of her norm acting, shes brilliant in it.

gone in 60 sec and The Rock are better, but none compare to Conair, an absolute masterpeice!

We had an hour to kill in town today. Wandered into the DVD shop. Whoops!

Came out with Shrek, Doctor Zhivago, the three Lord of the Rings things, and ... really scraping the barrel here but WTF? ... a set of four Indiana Jones movies. Possibly others I forget.

Luckily, the chap from the car place rang to say the service was finished before we could get to The Sound of Music.

Phew!

Great call. Not the type of film I will re-watch but it's a very good film.

And agree with Elizabeth Shue's performance being excellent.
kill for collingwood!

I still like the Indiana Jones movies.

Last night I watched Bloodshot. New Vin Diesel pic with Guy Pearce.

TP, this is your kind of movie. I really enjoyed it.
