Although the movie is always my focus when I think about a film, I never really separate it from my own experience. memory pushes and pulls our experience in different directions and sometimes alters the way we perceive a movie as a result. <br /><br />I feel safe in saying this was a terrific thriller and Malkovich deserved the recognition he got for the part. When he took the gun in his own mouth during the rescue of Frank, we know he is wacked beyond comprehension. Paranoids believe their own BS before anyone else's explanations.<br /><br />Clint was maybe a little long in the tooth for the relationship on screen, although he continued to be involved with plenty of younger women off screen. They played his age off pretty well. <br /><br />This was the last film my best friend and I saw together. We both liked it a lot so my memory will always favor it based on that experience.Richard Kirkhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428986542891346618noreply@blogger.com
