Cant believe it took me this long to rent it.What a powerful movie that shows that Robin Williams is one of the most underrated anti-hero actors.

I related more to Robin Williams dark lonely character then the "typical american family" he was jelous of and obsessed with.

the movie is very much in the psychological "Taxi Driver" vein
and is more mememorable then most thrillers.

Imagegood movie.Anyone else like it?

I liked it. Kind of creeped me out but that's what it was supposed to do.

I fell asleep (I had been drinking) and missed the ending and never got the time to catch it before I had to take it back.

I thought it was mediocre. I felt that the filmmakers were desperatly trying to rip of Kubrick's Style. And only did a so-so job at that.

I liked the part when Williams pretended to be room service and barged in on the cheating husband in bed with the woman he was cheating with.

I thought it was a middle of the road film. I wasn't mad that I spent the time/money to watch it, but I also could have gone without ever seeing it.

I found it just okay, nothing groundbreaking or really unique (other than having Williams play a psycho). Overall, worth seeing on cable.

I felt the ending was a bit rushed. They spent so long on the story then thought "oh crap we should end it soon" and bam - he's arrested and explains everything

i just finished watching it on fx. i can't say enough about the cinematography, but like a lot of others said in this thread, the film was "ok". i put two and two together and realized the director also directed the sonic youth video for little trouble girl. very clean, contrast of colors. like i said, i loved the look of this movie.

Very cool movie, I definitely liked seeing Robin Williams doing darker characters the year this came out (Insomnia). The movie has a nice look to it and he just does a great job of being creepy. I need to see this movie again.

Any movie that makes me feel really really bad for the main character does is job. I mean the guy is a bad guy yet such a likeable person at the same time. I felt like giving him a hug. Thumbs up for me.
