Saw it lastnight after seeing a sneak peek for Flyboys.

FUCKING LOVED IT. The pace is non-stop and the action is so over the top....but in a good way! It's a videogame come to life (did anyone sit through the credits..all the way to the end?)

Honestly, the movie is in my Top 10 favorite films of all time.

I've seen it and mostly like it - unpretentious and like a live action version of GTA San Andreas (I liked comparing the Los Angeles' real life landmarks with the video game landmarks of Los Santos).

I also saw it and loved it, the GTA parallels really stuck out in my mind.

Saw it last night, courtesy of Usenet. It was a decent movie. I didn't like the length of the film. It was too short.

I thought the length and pacing were perfect. Besides, make it any longer and the audience dies from adrenaline overdose.

I should have seen Crank instead of The Illusionist. The movie I saw wasn't bad but I'd have preffered Crank.
