kinda drags here and there, somewhat boring at times, but with an ending that makes it all worth it.

basically like all his other films save for Boogie Nights, which is dudes only flick that's entertaining from start to finish imo. Hard Eight is still a Gem though. Sydney's subtle goonery and Samuel L Jackson basically playing Ordell Robbie makes it a win.

Calmest goon in cinema history.

How did I forget about that crazy ass fukker? He was a next level goon and was calmer than an muhfukkin angel playing a harp.


I take that statement back
