Wow. From WAY back in 2002? It's amazing how it's stood the test of time, especially without some major restoration/remastering project.
J/K It's a great adaptation of a great book.

Yeah it is a great movie. They've been playing it a lot lately on Starz I think. I've watched it twice in the last month.

Excellent film, happens to be one of my favorites. As a matter of fact, I just popped it in randomly a couple nights ago.
A nice adaptation of one of the greatest stories ever written.

Very good movie. Caviezel, Guy Pearce, and Richard Harris were all strong.
I kept waiting for Luis Guzman to make some joke about sticking his dick in the mashed potatoes.

Yeah, this movie is awesome. Guy Pearce is one of the most underrated villains ever. Luis Guzman is very good as the sidekick/henchman, the movie has just the right formula in rise and fall of action, the chick is hot, it isn't too short, not to long either. Everything is great about this movie.

The book was much better . . . and much, much, much longer
I read the book after I saw the movie, and I am glad the directors took so many liberties.

I absolutely love this movie. 
Jim Caveziel is my all time favorite actor. He's also a very moral, principalled man. Love him.

Yes he is. He is also incredibly shy speaking in person. He spoke at a church out here, he seemed very nervous.

That's because revenge movies rule.
