Most underrated movie I would have to say Heist. I am a sucker for a David Mamet movie.

Please give a detailed response for this statement. I dare you.

3.Runaway Jury (2003) -stole every scene he was in, the confrontation between Hoffman and Hackman in the New Orleans courthouse bathroom was epic-

What was so epic about it? please explain why.

Considering he wasn't in this movie? Either you are thinking of the wrong movie or you are mistaking him for Tommy Lee Jones. But considering the date (1996), I am making the assumption that you are thinking of The Chamber instead. Great movie, though.

How can you get the film title of one of your favorite acting performances mixed up with another film title?

Sometimes the algorithm makes mistakes. Probably a misplaced "10100001000111"

Exactly. He probably needs to reboot.

Great movie


That's what I'm talking about but I thought the movie could have been much better. I just liked Hackman in it.

I liked the ending in the book better. Bo Jackson was awful as Sgt. Packer. No wonder he hasn't been in any other movies. Not a big Chris O'Donnell fan either and Faye Dunnaway overacted in this. I liked the ending of A Time to Kill in the movie better than the novel but they screwed up Grisham's ending in this one.

Really? It got good reviews. Either way I've got to get on the ball and read this before the movie release.
