Really good but go into with no information as I did and you'll have a much better time (I assume) than if you saw more than a tv ad.

Lady friend asked if I wanted to go to the Yoktown theater in Lombard. First time there since they did a major concept change. Good booze and food. Likes it much more than Hollywood Blvd which has too many distractions.

Wasn't even sure who was in the movie or what it was about until it started and,then remembered I did see a,brief add with Jason Bateman.....good thriller.

Yeah,it looked pretty interesting. Your first line holds true for any movie. A lot of surprises and scenes are ruined because they were in the preview.

So this isn't about the movie that Katie Holmes showed her boobs?

This movie fucking blows. Just wasted 45 minutes waiting for it to get interesting and then finally changed the channel.

Are you kidding? This was one of the best movies of its genre that I'd seen in quite sometime.

You have horrendous taste then. Just a really low energy thriller. Total snoozefest.

You are talking about the recent Jason Bateman movie and not the Cate Blanchett supernatural thriller from 2000, right?

Yes, SHARK, I'm talking about the recent movie. I watched almost an hour of it and I would be hard pressed to think of a less interesting/entertaining movie.

I got kinda bored in the middle, but the twist at the end is pretty disturbing. Really good tho. Prolly a top 10 for me in 2015.
