Saw it
Thoughts:
It's tough to watch a thriller where you don't care about the lead.
Harrison Ford is getting way too old for these kinds of movies.
Virginia Madsen deserves better. (Though she still has the most beautiful eyes...)
Overall surprisingly pedestrian.

Good point
But Ford spends the bulk of the movie in a sort of exhausted daze, which is sometimes painful to watch.

Mal: That's not\ufffd You are very much lacking in imagination.

well the premise of the movie is to take joe regular
and thru systemic pressure get him to do things he wouldnt normally do. That requires an exhaustive daze standard OPs planning. See Patty Hearst, cults, brainwashing 101 et al.
thanx,

Okay, so my question is... (POSSIBLE SPOILER)
Does he really beat someone to death with a blender?
I've read some things about it already that classify it as a movie I should probably wait to see on DVD, but I have to know about the blender, ok? I hate not knowing when people are kidding on David Letterman.

Nope, cause it doesn't really happen.
It's okay though, I searched and read dozens of reviews and finally found my answer to the blender question.
I think this movie is waiting till DVD for me.
