It was nice though not mindblowing.

However, three (unspoilery) observations is all I feel like writing:

1. Seeing Ben Affleck get killed over and over again? Sheer genius. I might even rent it.

2. Ben Affleck should lose 20 lbs and donate them to Adrian Brody (who is really hot and SHIRTLESS btw but seriously needs a sandwich).

3. At last, a movie in which Adrian Brody does not play mentally retarded, continuously tortured, or horrendously abused. Yes. Miracles are possible.

The trailer for Flags of Our Fathers looked interesting too (if a bit too on the sappy side). ~~Ryan Phillipe can come and plant flags in my backyard any time.~~
