The film was abysmal.  Stylistically, there were some very good moments in the beginning, but that doesn't cut it.  This film is a good example of a film that substitutes style and visual aesthetics for substance.  Furthermore, Anthony Hopkins (usually a fine performer), Winona Ryder (here less than mediocre), and Keanu Reeves (who should never be cast in anything) were all miscast and the film suffered as a result.  Finally, the last act of the film is campy, boring, and poorly shot (we shouldn't be distracted during the film's climax by how much the scenerey looks like a soundstage).\n\nRegarding the book, however, it is clear that the film has used it only as a framework for its own machinery and spectacle.  This was not Bram Stoker's Dracula, but F.F. Coppola's re-reading of the book through the lens of a kaleidascope.

I thought it was an OK movie.  It was cute, humorous, quirky in some parts.  It has a deeper meaning though, in my opinion.\nWe're always trying to fast forward through life, without savoring each moment we DO have with our loved ones.  He was lucky, he got a second chance.....because it was a dream.\nWe don't.  So don't waste your lives focusing & worrying about work, etc!!!  There's SO much more!!!

It is the hard word\n\nFirst-time director Scott Roberts gets it pretty right with this inyaface Aussie crime caper about three brothers who are just too good.at what they love best: robbing banks.\n\nGuy Pearce leads the Twentyman brothers as sort of mastermind Dale. He’s in jail and Rachel Griffiths is his unlikely moll wife who seems to be in bed with conniving lawyer Frank (Robert Taylor). \n\nThe scam is simple. The boys get snuck out of jail to pull their heists and everyone from the cops to the prison governor are cut in. Until Frankie decides he wants it all, including the lady- and there’ll be no witnesses.\n\nIt’s funny, black and rather surreal. Naturalism buffs will not adore this as much as looser-limbed viewers. But it’s helter-skelter action and remarkably little violence. Strong language though as you’d expect from a writer whose other film was the batty Denis Hopper vehicle The American Way in 1987.\n\nOne lovely touch totally misunderstood by almost every critic so far is the family argot based on butcher’s slang which the lads use to keep their personal stuff, er, personal.\nIf you could handle Chopper you will like this and ignore the spoilsport bourgeois critics of the national press when they come to savage it!

Great movie.\n\nThe 2 Irish brothers who turn vigilante and take on the entire criminal underworld was great.

OMG, finally someone else who has seen this movie!! I rented it and then bought the DVD the next day. I have made all my friends at least watch a few scenes.\n\nI LOVE the mix of humor and darkness in the film. Apparently this is a bit of an Irish thing - based on other Irish films I've watched lately.\n\nCillian is SO brilliant. I just can't gush enough about this movie!!

It already has been.  It came out on January 6th.  It was supposed to be TERRIBLE and dint last more than a week or two in the theatres.  Hey it's a new movie but it is bad enough to land at #20 of. imdb.com 's all time worst, bottom 100 movies.  If you find it in theatres, I wouldnt even waste the money.\n\nIf you really want to risk it, go spend$3 and rent it when it comes out on DVD May 23rd

I'm glad to see someone else interested in this film!  I've actually heard really good things about it, and i just bought it.  I'm planning on watching it later today based on all the reviews I read, which were very favorable.  On IMDB (which I consider to be a very very good resource for film info), they gave it an average rating of 7.3 out of 10.  \n\nOne of the reviewers made this comment:\n"Without revealing too much of the story, Elijah Wood's character gets kicked out of Harvard for a drug offence he didn't commit. He flies to London to visit his sister and quickly gets caught up in a small group of West Ham United supporting hooligans called the Green Street Elite.\n\nThe film does slightly glamorise the violence, but ends on a moralising note. An engaging storyline, good cinematography and decent cast performances make this a very enjoyable film."\n\nAnyway, I don't know just how violent it is yet, and it's fiction after all, but I'm really looking forward to watching it.  I'll give you an update after I've seen it.  Also, have you seen Football Factory??  Here's a snippet from the summary: "The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, its about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong."\n\nI figure if I like Green Street Hooligans I might like Football Factory, so I might get that one, too.\n\nHere's a link for Green Street Hooligans:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385002/\n\nHere's one for Football Factory:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385705/

I don't know now. I WAS excited til I found out they're not screening it for the critics which might mean that it's a shitty movie. It LOOKS really good from the previews tho so I dunno! I'm still going see it on opening night anyway, so I guess we'll see!!!

Yeah i saw it! But i don't know what you're looking for exactly, a review?!! summary?!! or what? So i'm just gonnna tell you what i thought of it .. \nIt was a nice experience because its not like every other romantic comedy we usually see, the story is weird in a way which is what made the movie interesting, a bit funny, and gives a different perspective on love and marriage ...

Yes, I am seeing this Friday night. It looks like a good summer action films. It is one of the films on my to-see list. Others are "Superman Returns", "Click", "Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", and "Lady In The Water".

The movie came out in pre-1975. I've only seen it once (I was probably 15 or 16 then so I can't give a opinon) However I plan on getting a copy sometime. It's a post nuclear movie,and the wedding consumating scene was great! Buy a good movie book and it will show you dates, year,director, rating, and everything you need. It is better than typing.(Reading that is!)  Dude says look it up and check it out man! Peace.
