| 23. As always...I will have your own review in my mind as I go to see this thing |
|
and I probably will this weekend...though, according to you ( and you and I seem to have the same tastes in film ) I will not expect much....one thing I didn't get from your review was ( the most important thing for me ) was there actual character development?
|
