Both actors give performances of a lifetime. Waltz got an Oscar for his terrifying portrayal of a monster who makes Anthony Hopkins' Silence of the Lambs character seem like a pussycat. Laurent's reactions to the pressure she experiences will make YOU sweat.

Too many reasons that it's difficult to watch. Quality is on the level of TV programs from 1950's. No sharpness in picture. Poor audio. Camera placements lack direction unless you want to view actors backs and darken audience.

Answer: Little A superior cast wasted on a meandering film. Expect a few years later these were the same critics who gushed over LA LA LAND.

A movie you would enjoy in your youth. Plenty of explosions and gunfire. Slapstick laughs galore. Too many critics expected a serious, historical story. Questionable if they have a sense of humor.

An excellent movie from an excellent book. A view of old time politics. It may be fiction but it is based on facts. Claims are made it was placed in Boston but one can insert numerous cities' history. Should be analyzed by anyone interested in political "science".

Silly, funny, dark humor film. Many twists and turns. Outrageous events. Probably underrated.

Has at least 3 different title releases which should alert you to the fact it hasn't been successful. Not a total disaster but is drawn out and repetitious. Questionable accuracy. Suspect fictional account of true event. Leaves unanswered why the delays of first responders.

Tremendous characters. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll laugh again. You'll tense when the villain appears. An old fashioned melodrama updated. I won't describe all the characters since that would spoil the constant surprises. Just watch it and be entertained.

Got the Blue ray and DVD for $5.92 including postage. Then lost 2 hours trying to watch it. It's not West Side Story or 7 Brides for 7 Brothers nor any Shirley Temple song and dance. Kept thinking "Springtime for Hitler" would be more enjoyable. After all the hype, no wonder the media has lost credibility.

Said to be Hitchcock's favorite film? Perhaps because he didn't have to exert any effort. Silly story with little coherence or tension (how it was nominated for an Oscar is a greater mystery). The only suspense is when the film will end. Don't waste your time. Watch nearly any of Hitchcock's other films.

HUGE disappointment. Total disaster. Question who thought having 3 different directors and 3 different casts would be brilliant? As is said in the military, the result is a SNAFU. Could support a conspiracy theory of destroying Ayn Rand. Read the book and hope another attempt is tried.

Great disappointment. So bad gave the DVD away. Don't waste your money or time

Well earned Cult Classic. Contains humor, Male fantasy besides underlying moral messages. Oh, did I mention the music?!!!

Was generous with a 4 rating. Interesting scenery. Poor directing. Questionable if editing was bad or that was all they had to work with. Silva is virtually mute so writers weren't necessary.

I could only watch 7 minutes; if longer suspect lower score. Why do directors use a modern setting but still use 1600's English? It's an assault on the senses! The Bard had great stories but if you have a modern setting use modern language. When did you ever hear a biker say Thou, dieist,...?

A bit of Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski and ARMY of Darkness. Funny and crazy characters.

I never saw the TV series so I had no preconceived ideas. Thoroughly enjoyed chuckling through out the movie. Sure you can foresee what's coming but the actors play it excellently.

With the passage of time, the unbelievable has become true. At the movie's release, it was viewed as a satire with the audience shaking their heads and thinking it could never happen here.

Manly flick requires 3 hankies. Appreciate how the Greatest Generation adjusted. Tale is appropriate today

Saw it in theater. I wasn't in 'Nam but had "flashbacks" the next day. Had all the stories that came out during the war

If you're Italian you will appreciate how Coppola got it right
