see: http://www.jinni.com/ for real, you two should be friends. each site has it's own merits. jinni seems to have more academic background (think: the humanities; psychology, sociology) while filmaster's tech actually works well. good thing is: both sites use the same overall rating system. i would prefer my data gpl'd. and freely movable. automatic export (to other sites) would rock.

How would anyone dare to remake this without Yul Brynner
+1, i think that's all that needs to be said.

A little bit too aimlessly trying to be remodel and innovate on a lot of aspects - but hardly excelled as harmless, yet still moderately entertaining television fodder for a lazy sunday afternoon with the family - including your grandparents. And it still has Michael Caine.

I can not point out for sure what it is with this film. A predecessor to Kill Bill 1 & 2? To read how much this film meant to Cassavetes breaks my heart with a caleidoscope - this guy has directed some of my favorite films yet this feels cheap, pulpy, yet overloaded with allegory and almost inhuman at once. "This is not a love song." - and I can barely stand it. I've seen the shortened 1978 version.

I have to agree but isn't this a film about the precocious child syndrome?
In many aspects way over the top and far out - yet considerately so.

The telephones in this film will stay with you forever. This, and warm, heartfelt solidarity for people who happen to feel sexual arousal while lying in your living room during artificial coma caused by accidently ingested prescription drugs which were originally meant for somebody else to take. Did I already mention the telephones?

An art-house correlative to a good mainstream fire-and-forget-blockbuster. You will have a good time but you won't remember much of it later. Truth is: I've seen this film four or five times because I forgot that I had seen it already. The magic trick is: I never felt any regret about it. Is there a better compliment to give to a pulp novel than unlimited repeated readability?

I've rarely seen a film so bitter.

An example of how a solid acting performance can be not good enough for a demanding script. This and the Oliver Stone-typical machismo which can make that of the works of the Bruckheimers pale in comparision.

I'm not passionate about his work before but this feels brainy. And very authentic. And gorgeous. It seems to me Tarantino spent some time in the 00s in Berlin's now lost in tourism but then thriving 'anti-german' underground culture. And made a film out of it. He captured its feel and self-criticism almost too well. Maybe the tad bit sympathy for the nazis was too much of it but as a form of entertainment and not art for arts sake I wouldn't know what more to ask for. (Except atrocities undone)

The film's daring accomplishment is its fierce preference for symmetry and mathematical conclusion (of the screenplay) in leiu of story development or character. If it triumphs or tanks for you depends on how much you ingest this proposition.
