-Leo did a fairly good if not somewhat over acted part in this movie. There were a couple scenes where I feel he tried to hard to be a tough guy (which I have a hard time accepting from him).
-Jack was OK. I think he also over acted his part a bit. But then I'm not really a Jack fan.
-Sheen was robotic, he should have stopped staring at the naked girl beside the camera during:
-Wahlberg's main scene in Sheen's office was pretty much the worst scene in the movie to me. He's being nominated for an award for this? I think he was better in Planet of the Apes.
-I think Damon did a pretty good job and am starting to enjoy a number of his roles.
The plot was a good concept to some degree. I don't know that they had to have the same girl. Not required to me; didn't add much.
All told I enjoyed the movie, but I won't exactly be running out to buy it (unless perhaps it hits the $6 bin at Wal-Mart, then maybe...).
Why don't I like so many mainstream hits that others do? Crash for example. Dunno.
