This Guy is a total enigma to me


At Close Range is a four star masterpiece. GGGR is amazing. Confidence is slick and well crafted. Fear was great. His other stuff not so much.

Hes been around for over 25 years and has yet to make his definitive film!!?

I would say GGGR is his definitive film. I LOVE that move. Its pretty hard to top. And given his the rest of his track record I doubt if he ever will.

He can be real hit or miss - Perfect Stranger was horrible, laughable really. GlenGary Glen Ross was well done as well - thought he added a lot of depth to what is essentially a stage play.

Fear is one of the worst movies ever made.

fear is freaking fantastic.

After Dark My Sweet is excellent as well - but I think At Close Range is his masterpiece.

I have After Dark my Sweet queued in my netflix so I will bump that up. I also have The Corrupter in there too, is that any good?

I agree At Close Range is a masterpiece but it just doesnt get the recognition it deserves.

I just watched After Dark my Sweet and it was fantastic. A great piece of pulp fiction and another fine job by Foley. It was nice to see Racheal Ward back in her heyday again cause she is fine. Jason Patric was amazing, talk about an enigma.
