RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

aquascape What I thought to be an entertaining John Cusack film, given his successful late 90's streak, "Pushing Tin" was not. John Cusack plays a top air traffic controller in a world where one mistake could cost hundreds of lives. His position as alpha dog is unchallenged until Billy Bob enters the game as a newly transferred controller.That's pretty much all that is going on in the work environment. After this, the film relies heavily on anything but the interesting world of radar and traffic control and focuses on the life outside the work boundaries, touching subjects like family, infidelity, deception and strange ways to see John Cusack's character get bested by Billy Bob's.I am surprised to see Mike Newell loose form after "Four Wedding and A Funeral" and "Donnie Brasco". The writing was a complete mess and years later I think it's only good for a Sunday afternoon watch where you could do other activities while running the movie in the background.

Johnny Comelately It felt like 8 hours and honestly I feel really stupid that I didn't walk out of the theater. I wish I could have that 2 hours of my life back as this has to be the worst major motion picture ever made. Save yourself as I would rather chew on tin foil in a cold shower then have to sit through this horrible movie again. There is nothing redeeming I can say about this movie, not even Angelina Jolie looking hot. I can't come up with one reason to watch this movie. The troops in Gitmo should show this movie to inmates but I am 100% confident it would be against the Geneva convention as it would undoubtedly be considered torture to have to sit through this movie.

leplatypus Actually, the movie is about a cheating husband and this isn't the kind of movie that appeals to me. Those scum are already impossible to support in real life so it's wasted time to make them "hero" of fiction. As I know one (a "colleague" of a dear friend), the portrayal is here accurate because those cheaters are indeed shining hypocrites: they benefit the distress of their "prey" to pass for kind humanitarian whereas they care only for their ego and libido! With no surprise, the movie is split in two parts: the exhilaration of cheating and after being consumed, the painful consequences. To anime this drama, the feminine cast beats their male counterpart: Cusack is a smooth actor (not awful, not genius) and Thorton rejoices my list of arrogant, spoiled irritating actors (with Pitt, Walberg, Farell, Foxx). unfortunately, Angie and Kate are underused.Finally, the movie is not really interesting: the good moments are actually showing the outback of New York and great planes animation flying over Manhattan and the WTC!

Framescourer I like this film very much, although I'm not sure it's a classic by any means. In fact, I think there should probably be a new genre of indie-ish studio drama called the Cusack to replace the rather amorphous 'quirky'...... the point is that this (to invoke other genres) buddy-cum-rite-of-passage drama has a super core roster of characters. Cusack himself is an all-American superstar in his little world; i.e. resting on his laurels. Billy Bob-Thornton maverick genius outsider Russell provides the challenges that Nick finally rises to through a circuitous route of desperate housewife Cate Blanchett and needy nihilist Angelina Jolie. For all the entertaining conceits involving these four my favourite bits are the well-orchestrated ensemble set pieces in the control tower. 5/10
