@tommy_leazaq: It was released in Dutch theaters yesterday. Definitely worth the visit, it is one of my favorite movies of the year so far!

This has to have the highest check to comment ratio of any film on icheck.

A. Let me remind most here that had there not been the support of the hipster public, Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump and other mediocre crap in that IMDB Top 250 would have been out long time ago from this list...

Calling Shawshank Mediocre is laughable, it is considered a masterpiece for good reason.

Though I do agree that your average person is way too adverse to watching subtitled films. Countless great films come from countries other than the U.S and Britain. However in contrast many great films have come from the U.S and you are very ignorant in your dismissal of them.

To all the people who have checked it:

Have all of you guys seen this movie in theatre in your locality only? Anyone seen it in DVD or Internet? I live in India and God knows when it'll be available here.. I deperately wanna see the movie to complete the IMDb list.

jimbotender, I agree with you in spirit, if not in tone. But I had to laugh (out loud, even!) at the idea that anybody who votes up Shawshank, Gump, or the previously mentioned Sam Mendes could remotely be described as a "hipster."

You implied about the ridiculousness of the possibility of their films not-to-be-included in any list and I rightfully commented about the philistine identity of anyone saying it. Of course it's obvious I'm not comparing Nolan and Fincher to the likes of Brett Ratner. I'm comparing Fincher's video-clip majesty to the "mafias" people are cursing like they're the worst films of this universe. If there are so many extravagant Bollywood choices in some lists, there's a larger number of mediocre Aronofsky and Nolan flicks around here...

"Anything's better to Christopher Nolan and David Fincher films"

That is obviously idiotic, even if you hate them there are surely tons of movies that are much more terrible (like Zombie '90: Extreme Pestilence or Daniel - Der Zauberer).

You were name calling, too, by the way:
"moronic philistine"

Good Guys Wear Black is terrible, there ARE some suspicious ratings from some countries and jimbotender is an idiot (I'm generalizing like him).

It's on general release in the UK & Ireland. I don't understand the furore below. It's won the prize at Berlin, is by an established arthouse director and is very good. The plot is somewhat contrived and the pacing is flawed but it has many good points: nature of truth, honour, parenthood with an examination of society and the legal system thrown in too.

I don't know about mafias, but this movie is very good and universal, about Justice (social, moral, legal and religious). It is more or less like a Kiarostami movie (sharp dialogues and acting) but less contemplative and slow.

Err, "A knack for missing the point".

This commenting system needs an edit function.

Of those three, I think Christopher Nolan makes pretty good films, and Fincher and Mendes tend to make very mediocre ones. Fincher has the point of completely missing the point of whatever he's trying to film.

I tend not to care about the IMDB list because it gives films a bonus just for having been seen by more people, and films that are seen by more people tend to only get votes from people who really loved them or really hated them.

"I think David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, and Sam Mendes all generally make very good films, and that it's a travesty that anyone would say that *any* film of theirs doesn't belong on a user-vote-based list is absolutely ridiculous."

Well done. That doesn't change the fact that whoever yells about Turkish and Russian mafias is a moronic philistine since it's obvious there are American mafias AS WELL!

No, I'm not joking. I don't give a rat's ass if I'm in any type of minority. I just love films from around the world (literally speaking) and I don't need to belong to any American or Russian mafias to do that.

Public Enemy

Good Guys Wear Black has some favorite checks, so some people do like it. It's not that bad and it's also significant because that's the first role of many where he goes on missions to save POWs.
