I enjoyed watching this movie.
Fantastic camerawork (Hitchcock again of course) and great editing. This film sould be compulsory for all film students.
I enjoyed Sakamoto's fitting score as well.
I'll admit that the acting wasn't all that great, but it matches the 50's feeling of the film.
And that ending?... Well, yes it could've been a better one I guess...
But this film is a must for its technique, not for the story, nor for the acting.
Oh, and if you haven't seen it yet, you MUST watch it in 2:35.1 widescreen (and several times preferably)!

I KNOW SAME! just by the beginning I was hooked because it was so much fun. And the camera work is so great (like u said) that I felt like I was there with Nick and I almost felt embarrassed to be there haahha. And i think its sad that no one else really likes this movie. It gets a 10 from me.

You guys are so right and can only agree that this is a typical De Palma film and for many of his films, not everybody likes it. But for me, it belongs to one of my favorites, especially because of the opening sequence, great work!
