Yeah, it was a good movie but there were parts where I felt like the cast and filmmakers were thinking that they were being cleverer than they actually are.

Yes.

What would have been your ideal ending?

reply

It's a solid movie, a little hysterical and ott at times, but solid overall.

Gibbo, Rene Russo and Gary Sinise are excellent, as is Lily Taylor. And Ron Howard's direction is top notch.

Agreed. Shaker should've gotten away with it
