Good ol' 6 for the Sixties!

“Not a bad film whatsoever, but very overrated. Yes, there's some fairly good actors, but it honestly still didn't help prevent this film from the 'dated' bug. It's such a film of it's time.

It only just got itself on the IMDb 250, but only just, and I'm pretty certain in a few years, it'll be off there for good. I think, in order to enjoy this more than I did, I think it would take me to 'like' these types of films, and, to be adapted to these times. I think after a while, you'll come to learn that it's not a brilliant film, and in parts is boring. Don't be afraid to say you don't like it or that it's overrated. Because it truly is. I think this is a prime example of people only saying they like this film, because it's a classic.

Mack's Movies 2013: January (21 movies items)

" January 5th: Instant watch, TV screen Overall opinion: Interesting To be honest this movie seemed really strange to me.

"Kirjasto-DVD Ben Braddockin elämän esittely on hyvä vaihtoehto, mikäli haluat murhata jonkun räjäyttämällä tämän aivoista verenkuljettimet. Näin urpoa ääliötä ihan oikeasti harvoin näkee ja katsoja ikään kuin paukuttaa tv-ruutua tuskissaan seuratessaan avuttomana vierestä sankarimme elämänkulkua. Tuo jätkä ei osaa päättää mitään tai tehdä muuta kuin hössöttää ja munata aivan kaiken mihin ryhtyy. Ainakin liki kaiken. En uskonut elokuvan aikana juurikaan hahmoi"
