| | Great movie...a sleeper | RRW 11/13/2007 | | I played the guy who fights the dog and then dumps him off a bridge in Chicago. While my character is a scumbag - his employers are even worse. The only question in the movie is - who gets it worse? - the dog or John Travolta. I'm flipping a coin and I'm now up to best 9 of 11.....See the movie.....it seems like a suicide inducing movie at first, but the ending makes the pain all worthwhile... |
| | Movie is touching... | waxman 08/14/2007 | | The hard part is getting to the end.....it's like Elephant with a much happier ending...I played the Kid who dumps the dog in the beginning of the movie.....but it gets better for "Triipoli" after that |
