While this is a good movie, and it was something shockingly new at the time, I feel when seeing it again yesterday that it really isn't THAT mindblowing, as some reviewers here seem to think.
To be honest, I fail to detect the suspense raved about here, and Tim Robbins act like he has arthritis, and talks like he has bad breath he is trying to hide.
It IS a "clever" movie, and manages to make fun of all the archtypes, cornercutting and mainstreaming in the moviebusiness, but it never had me glued to the seat, tingling with fright or wiping away a tear.
When a movie does none of that, and only make me chuckle now and then, it is not an 8 or a 10, it is as clear a 6 as they come.
