It has fantasy elements to it that make it unique for it's genre. I own the US release 1 sheet (the bright colorful one) from when I worked in a movie theatre. Great movie.

The first time I heard that, I thought he was talking about flooring tiles. It is a really bizarre movie to understand the first time, but one that rewards your attention. Pat: The director did such a fantastic job setting up what an idyllic life Gal lived, before Don Logan came back. I definitely think Kingsley's character was looking for acceptance, and striking fear into people was the only way he knew to go about it. Thanks for commenting!

But I always thought Gal did the job, and Don hung around so long due more to the old girlfriend. It seemed that Don's anger was more a reason to get off the plane so that he could try to get the girl back. Boy, Kinglsey was an asshole. A good one. His small frame adds to what an asshole he is because he is still able to command attention. I love the sleepiness of the opening scene. Joe,

What's amazing about Kingsley in this is how he's able to sell the ferociousness of his character without even speaking -- you see him walking in the airport and snearing in the car and just know he's one bad dude. Same goes for McShane, though he's naturally pretty evil looking. I really like Aitch, even if I had to turn on the subtitles to figure out half of his dialog. I love this movie.
