he didnt drag me. well, ok, he dragged me. but i had a lot of fun too, just not the losing glasses part.
when everything is getting ratcheted up in this movie, its amazing. the stakes keep getting higher, and its because of simple things, things that wouldn't work in a movie with another cast... but it just works so well in this movie because of the actors and the execution. chris not being able to lie becoming jenna looking for michael, then that set against michael being tempted by kim, then the explosion between michael and jenna, then kim calling, then him going over there... it just works so damn well.
also, the direction was real.. almost workmanlike. not flashy or show-offy, very simple and elegent... and just there to service the story. very well done. it was trippy to see the bad guy from ghost standing in the camino real. i was like 'oh shit, that dude hired willy to kill sam!' cept it kind of looked like the guy who hired willy's dad. still, trippy.
i wish i could see the movie again tonight. plus ive downloaded the songs i recognized and subsequently have not stopped listening to hide and seek. so awesome.
