Fuck, this movie was good. I was giddy when it ended. Pure pulp entertainment with some fantastic acting by Viggo, Maria Bello and (especially) William Hurt. The movie was suspenseful, nasty, witty, suprising and, at times, downright hilarious. Wait until the final 10 minutes. The final showdown in Philadelphia is some of the best-filmed violence I've seen since Boogie Nights. Or maybe Pulp Fiction.
By the way, the sex in this movie is so realistic it will make you squirm. There is every reason for Viggo and Maria to eat each other out (69!) while she wears her high school cheerleader uniform because it says a lot about their relationship. Their second big sex scene (the violent one in the stair case after a nasty nasty argument/fight) is so uncomfortable you'll wince. But again, it says worlds about where they are in their relationship and how fucking pissed off she is about him and how much he loves her and can't believe how much he hurt her (however intentional or unintentional).
This is a great movie.
