personally, I don't mind LDC's acting in this movie as it really wasn't all that important to the message and the script just didn't lend itself to 'good acting'.

If people want to bitch, or people want to moan, so be it. I do think that it's a movie that really needs, much like THE USUAL SUSPECTS, to be seen a good two or three times.

I'm sure DVD sales will be going through the roof due to people not 'getting it' the first time around and who don't want to sit in a theatre again.

    ..he was, by his very presence, a profound relief from the contrived silliness that was taking place around him. Caine - and others of his elevated ilk - have the innate capacity to transform a scene or a movie. Their standards of artistic expression do not depend on direction or script. They bring an quality of artistic expression that transcends outside influence.
    
    He was a reality among relative poseurs.
