This is a great film, and it wouldn't make my top ten, but I have no problem with seeing someone put it in theirs. It's much better than some of the other ones people claim as their favorites.

Well I don't know about that. It just may be the greatest chase movie ever though and it's in my top 10 for this decade.

Agreed.

Obviously not the best ever, but it was a great movie. One of the few movies that can keep my attention from start to finish. A lot of action. Great cinematography. The actors were cast perfectly.

And this.

I loved the movie. The subtitles were hardly noticeable because there was so little of a script. Most of the movie had little or no dialogue at all.

What I liked most about it was its originality. Yeah, I know the running for your life theme isn't brand new, but the setting and the story was great.

Though a fine example of the movie making craft, I think it would be a very bold statement to say it is the best. That said, I would place it in my top ten of favorite movies.

Very good movie

My top 5 or so would be

Pulp Fiction
Big Lebowski
Resevoir Dogs
Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels

and

probably "Los Cronocrimenes" or "Timecrimes"(same film, spanish with english subtitles). That's a cool arse movie

Apparently you've never seen any James Stewart/Hitchcock collaborations.

The one thing that bothered me is the lady and child in the hole when it was filling up with water. I don't see what the problem was, just hold on to the side and float up. Other than that I thought it was a great flick.

My only problem with that scene was [spoilers]

SHE shite OUT A MOTHERfrickING KID!!!! JESUS CHRIST! Like....It was clear she was in labor and what not, and i'm expecting the baby to come...but then it shoots down to the water and i'm like "hey...whats up with the cam...holy fricking shite....no way they just did that"

And i've been in the room when actual childbirth took place and it didn't freak me out as much for some reason

May not be the best movie of all time, but jaguar paw = possibly the biggest badass of all time.
