Thanks for tonight's movie recommendation (Braveheart was sick, I'll give Mel another chance!).

Oh please don’t think I was suggesting it. It’s just what the movie was about. It’s. It on me if it’s not your cup of tea. Brave heart it isn’t.

    How had I never seen this? Mel Gibson and a red-headed stalkee Julia Roberts as co-leads!?! Patrick Stewart as government villain?!?

    My review after watching it last night (thanks again): definitely worth watching, but you'd be a nut to recommend this to anybody that has both feet on this planet. The first-half does a great job capturing what being a schizoid talkaholic feels like (both for self and others). The second-half is action packed with multiple mindfucks for the audience ("why does he have that picture?!" 3x). Not a good date movie, keep it for a personal tinfoil.popcorn movienight.

    Ensemble: 9/10

    Mel: 5/10 plays crazy too well

    Julia: 10/10 wow no publishable notes

    Patrick: 8.5 strobelit flashbacks of Captain Kirk waterboarding The Passion

    Actor Synergy: 2/10 nobody seemed too thrilled with the screenplay

    Explosions: 10/10 guy knew what he was doing DAM

    Tinfoil: all the squarefeets

    Believability (1997): 2/10

    Believability (2025): 8.5/10

    Overall: 5.5/10

    Worth watching, even if just certain sassy actress scenes. Julia Roberts explores all damsel emotions in this one.
