fuckin wicked film: so much character in what could have
easily been a little boys' film: the bit where he decides he
is no good at drime is really cool, and the bit with the
banana is funny then brutal in the space of 30 seconds. its
all about people which is the hallmark of a great film

appreciate this becasue Spider was far better...still
brilliant though.

I just watched Sweet home alabama and that sucked so god
damn hard. I saw analyze that before it and it was much
better.

The Goodfellas comparisons are way off. How many films have
been compared to Goodfellas? Fuckin shitloads. It does my
head in. 'The Brazilina Goodfellas', 'Goodfellas meets...'.
Bag a shite!

Is there any of those brazilian babes with the big booties
who just sort of crouch down and wiggle their ass in it? I
could watch them all day. I think I've seen goodfellas. Is
that the one where the chick from the sopranos gives Ray
liotta a blowjob?

Yes, this movie was astounding. The laid-back approach to
the mindless killing was quite disturbing... I laughed at
first, but slowly started to realize that these kids don't
have a clue, or an ounce of respect for human life. And
this really happens every day.

excellent film. not a single gratuitous piece of violence in
the whole thing (unlike Goodfellas....the violence is
definitely at the forefront there). here the violence is
part of the narative flow and with the excellent editing
and multitude of great 3D characters, all comparisons to
goodfellas can fuck the fuck right off. films will compare
to this.

I really liked it, the opening 10 minutes are
cinematographic magic. I saw it dubbed into Spanish though,
which took a lot of fun out of the natural portugese.

Where was the gratuitious violence in goodfellas?

yeah amazing movie.. i really liked it a lot

the indifferent, "laid back" approach to the killing was
interesting, especially considering their age... overall i
didn't find it as purely disturbing other crime movies like
goodfellas... i guess cus the violence was so normalized in
it (if thats a word), and there was other stuff besides just
violence/crime too

anyways it had such a great story..
