Jude Law plays such a good creep. And Daniel Craig plays such a good asshole.

It's also among the great comic/graphic novel movie adaptations too.

Jude Law is one of those "forgotten" greats. Rarely mentioned when someone asks for the best actors, but also regularly kicks arse. Playing opposite Michael Caine in the Sleuth remake was his best, imo, but yeah...never seen him make a mistep.

The film is not without its charm, and Paul Newman is watchable at any point in his career. Perhaps audiences preferred Hanks in his Sleepless in Seattle type roles at this point in his career. IMO, he did a fine job in the role, and the film still stands up well today.

Fun fact - the son from the movie grew up to be the CWverse version of Superman. He's also awesome in Everybody Wants Some!!

Absolutely. I think…and this is controversial I know…it’s one of the best American films I have ever seen. It has everything, and very well done.

It’s beautifully shot, written, acted, scored….everything.

One of the all time greatest films. It's one of the few movies I consider perfect.

They should make movies on the sequel comics too. Did 20th century fox buy rights for those too from DC.

It’s such a great film. It reminds me of the Bronx Tale in regards to the father/son dynamic. Something about these films makes me feel nostalgic when I didn’t even live in that era.

If you enjoy this movie, you should check out the manga, Lone Wolf and Cub. A lot of parallels between the two stories.

I have no shame in saying that the beautiful climax scene in the rain makes me cry a lot. It is just magic cinema!

Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like his receding hair line/hair loss pushed him out of the spotlight for the roles that he was traditionally cast in during the late 90s early mid 2000s

He’s given fantastic performances in almost everything I’ve seen him in

It’s honestly my favorite Hanks movie. So goddamned good.

I absolutely love this movie

It's John Wick but with a better story, with better characters, and with no sequels to ruin it

Yes it is. It didn't have the cast of heavy hitters that RTP has but it's a classic in it's own right. It's underrated and only started getting appropriate attention after it's theatrical run. RTP did have a sequel limited series, Road To Paradise.
