The Limey was a bit slow, but it had such a solid atmosphere all the way through. Great job by the actors - Stamp looked like he was going to blow a gasket through the whole movie. I'm psyched to see Traffic based on that (and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon).
Haven't seen Red Planet yet, but it got so-so reviews. The thing with Mission to Mars was, I'd heard it was real bad, saw it anyway, and it exceeded my worst expectations. Some of the sorriest tired cliches of the last 10 years dressed up in tons of special effects - certainly the worst movie I saw last year.
>I found the Limey a bit slow. Bring Out The Dead was cool, though it was 1999. I have heard bad things about Mission to Mars.
