    An underrated classic. I'd rank it in the 90's top 10 best.

    Yeah, it was an excellent movie.

    Seems sort of overlooked, it's not talked about often.

    Absolutely, have been saying it forever, frankly. It does get a touch overlooked.

    Great movie. I don't think it was over-looked when it came out. Maybe has become a bit forgotten over time.

    It's hard for me to consider a movie that pulled down 9 Academy Award nominations and won 2 as overlooked.

    nobleart said it best.

    One of Crowe's best roles, and Guy Pierce was also very good. I liked Danny DV in it, too.

    Agreed. Great movie. I believe they gave Russell Crowe an Oscar as Best Actor for it....in 2001.
