Top badass moment? The end reminded me of how satisfying it is to have a decent, bus-based alternative in mind when your train gets cancelled. This film takes ages to get anywhere, yet it's very watchable. Leonard isn’t especially likable either, but I wanted him to do well. But why on earth did those two attractive women actually want him so much? Also, I hate seeing facets of myself in very flawed characters, I’d much rather see some in Jean-Luc Picard. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Joaquin's slightly off-kilter awkward performance is one of the more accurate depictions of romance I've seen in awhile.

Certainly one of Phoenix' weaker roles, as the mumble-mouthed Leornard is entirely too creepy to be in either of these relationships.

(...)Die meisten von uns würden an einem bestimmten (unreifen) Punkt unseres Lebens auch Michelle vergöttern: Sie ist schön und charmant mit einem gewinnendem Lächeln. Sie hat aber keine innere Ruhe.

I think this grounded milieu suits Gray more than the organised crime stuff, if only for the fact that it doesn't allow him to turn it into an action movie in the third act. Though there is a surprising amount of tension in this, mostly down to the beautiful camera and exquisitely creepy sound design. My only complaint is that we're supposed to believe Vinessa Shaw is the frumpy girl starved for male attention compared to Paltrow's hot trainwreck. They both give great performances, but come on.
