First time seeing this movie


It seemed like the typical kidnapping movie based in the short description-little picture of movie poster was appealing. Looked it up online, imdb/rotten tomatoes score wasn't too good. When I looked at it on Wikipedia it said at the end "cult film". I was hooked, had to watch and see what was special.
Great film. Saw Ryan Philippe in the Bang Bang Club (similar situation-scrolling though guide wanting to see whatever movie wasn't halfway over) which I also though was a good movie too. Only actor I really recognized was James Caan. I liked Benicio del Toro, it seemed he had a "quiet" part but he still was very important.
Overall I enjoyed the movie and thought imdbs rating is pretty wrong.

I think it's an 8, and for its genre it might be a 9. Great shoot-outs and the initial chase scene turns the whole motif on its head. I love this movie.
