Picked up at Blockbusters for £3.

Great film.

Terrible ham acting from Travolta. Doing his most unconvincing "nutter" role... Swordfish, Pelham, etc, etc. Slater doing I wish was taller, I could have been the next Jack Nicholson...

Woo should never have gone to Hollywood.

Definitely in the crap but good category.

Best line: "fk 'em if they can't take a joke."

I agree. Objectively a rubbish film but entertaining and easy to watch nonetheless.

True Romance.

Slater's f*cking excellent in that.

The little tune that plays throughout the movie is both my and a few friends favourite part. just hearing that sound instantly identifies it and we generally start humming along

Good old Hans Zimmer!

The theme he done for 'The Rock' is also really good.

Mrs slopes hates this film, but i do like it. No there is no serious dialouge, yes the action is a bit far fetched at times, but it is an action film and therefore should be classed as escapism. Thumbs up from me, and you got it for just £3? Bargain

It's no Oscar winner, sure, but I was entertained.

Not enough films these days are on trains. Might go and dig out Under Siege 2 now...

Did I miss the Irony marker? Is someone going to post the whoosh parrot?

But ... seriously? On what scale of "good" are you measuring?
