Thanks MM! I appreciate that coming from a fellow reviewer. Let me ask you, (or anyone who wants to answer) what do you like better in a review: a review that covers mostly the synopsis?...or a review that focuses on production/cinematography/lighting etc.
I did and I didn't really like it compared to The Hustler...but it's been years so I should give that film another chance.

Good question, Rules. I usually read reviews of movies I've already seen. If I read a review of a movie I haven't seen, it's because I want to find out if it's worth investing the time to see it. Either way, I don't really like reviews that give you a synopsis of the story because (a.) if I've seen it then I already know the details or (b.) if I'm looking to see if it's worth watching, then I don't want all the details & plot points revealed beforehand.
I usually do this on IMDB and it gets boring going through review after review that tells you what happened in the movie, when what you're looking for is what people thought of the movie.
