Honestly... one of the best movies ever.

Agree, not many movies with this magnitude in recent years. Maybe V for Vendetta?!

And Guy Richie's other work - Swept Away, Sherlock Holmes 1 & 2.

I like Guy Richie's other works as well. But not as impressed by this one as this is the only movie that kind of tell it all about the subject - Ego.

One of the best movie of all time in my opinion. Don't know why it didn't get any OSCAR recognition.

I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Most of the movies I watch are those I give 7 to 10 and I avoid mainstream movies in general though there are some good ones there too. I take a lot of time in deciding what movies I should see, so I don't end up having watched much of the trash. Having said that and having watched a lot of great movies of all genres, I still consider this one of the best I've seen.

It touches on concepts like suppressing one's ego, the importance of Point of View (the more one learns to see from another's shoes, the more open the person'll be and the less egoistic the person'll be), the importance of small details that change one's life and also on how everything is in the person's mind (Statham's character had a fear of closed doors, but eventually the fear didn't do him too good) - which implies not everything that one's mind tells the person will result in good for him/her.

The best thing about this movie is it does it all subtle, nothing is on the nose here and still everything in the movie is sufficient for one to arrive at the above thoughts.

Agreed... Totally agree!!!
One of the all time best films ever....
Student film makers should study this one....
A brilliant piece of work.

Totally. Never seen a movie get into the Ego subject.

In the movie commentary, he said there'll be another movie coming up to talk about Kabbalah. That sadly didn't materialize.

I've made dozen of people watch this movie.
And not to sound pretentious (actually I don't even care, I won't apologize for knowing I'm smart), only the smartest of my friends liked the movie.
It's complex, but it's why I like it, other movie tend to annoy me, they make me feel the same way I feel when someone talks to me like I was a child.

I am huge movie critic... and I don't like most of the movies I see. They have terrible, over used plots. Bad acting that is supposed to be overlooked because of overused special effects. They have so many goofs, holes and other crap that makes the movie just sucky.... but this... this film is easily one of the best movies I've ever seen. Yes it is pretty easy to guess the ending but it still wasn't ruined by that fact. It is a work of art. It is rewatchable.

one of the most important movies ever

and one of the most subversive
