Robert De Niro, Kevin Bacon, Brad Pitt, Dustin Hoffman, and a few others.

I was up late a few weeks ago and happened on to this movie and watched it. Pretty good IMO. I didn't even know about this movie prior to watching, but I'm glad I stayed up watched through until the end.

I assume at least a few of you guys have seen it, just wondering what y'all thought of it.


ETA It's on now and that got me thinking about starting the thread.

Great movie, but sad enough theme that a lot of people may not want to dwell on it.

Sidenote: one of those early Brad Pitt movies where he looks very washed out or too much makover. Otherwise, I love the dude.

I'd never seen it until my family and I rented a VRBO cabin in the mountains for Thanksgiving. It was legit VHS on an old timey TV. It was one of 10 movies they had and none of us had seen it so we just popped it in after looking at the cast.

The first 5-10 minutes make you think you're gonna be in the most carefree fun movie ever. Then shite gets real. Unreal movie, but needless to say we weren't expecting that for Thanksgiving family time hahaha.

In looking online about it afterwards there is alot of debate as to if it's fiction or based on a true story. If its based on a true story then ...

The bar scene with Crudup, the other dude, and Kevin Bacon is a thing of beauty..

How did you play the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon game without Sleepers?

Bacon was just so slimy. Bar scene was great.

Frack Noakes.
