GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

beryl-71901 This movie was fantastic. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was brilliant and deserved more acclaim and Robert De Niro was the perfect foil. Where else can you get two great actors in almost every scene and doing the brilliant work we know they can. I am a film buff and very snobby, to be honest. High Praise from me :) I watch films constantly and this one was riveting and brilliant from the first scene... That they did it on a $15 Mil budget with two A list actors is a testament to the actors' faith in the film (Hoffman and De Niro) and their own ability to carry it with magical chemistry grumpy or kind on screen. By the time it was finished I was shaking my head: how did I miss this film? Oh yeah, that was the year I had my first child. So home sick today, perusing films on our local cable service and next thing I knew--my casual "what's that about" became the reason I could not leave the couch to answer the phone :)

jDriftyx82 Joel Schumacher is a mixed bag. I mean we got Batman & Robin, Batman Forever, and Number 23. Then we have A Time to Kill, Falling Down, The Client, and Phone Booth.Flawless is also a mixed bag. It is a performance driven movie (by Robert De Niro and Philip Seymour Hoffman). Both actors have great bodies of work and are impressive actors.Flawless is about an ultraconservative security guard (DeNiro) suffers a debilitating stroke and is assigned to a rehabilitative program that includes singing lessons--with the drag queen next door.Now, I don't care who you are, you have to admit Philip Seymour Hoffman was amazing in this movie. Like most of his movies, he is amazingly convincing, as Truman Capote, as a depressed theater director building a NYC replica, and as a drag queen.Of course De Niro is great, but if he was anything less he wouldn't still be acting.If acting makes the movie for you. Check out this movie.

alienworlds An interesting film that seems to be about two completely different people helping each other. That is well and good. On the other hand I think the chances of something like what takes place in this movie happening in real life are in the negative integer zone. Furthermore I think the film fosters myths about things related to the world of transsexualism re some very high costs being quoted by the films wanna be trans character related to what sex change stuff costs. I think that would tend to create the idea that anyone wishing to undergo some kind of a transsexual process either has to be loaded with money or prepared to take-a big bunch of money from somewhere, (see crime) which does nothing to promote understanding of the real issue-which is generally not a mega buck affair-and by the way-it is often a complete disaster, due to drug reactions, which are not accounted for in drug descriptions related to the subject. That would be a problem. I found it a bit hard to watch in places as the actor playing a wanna be trans isn't a wanna be trans. Call me stupid but there are plenty out there. Fairly forgettable performance by Robert De Niro, falling far short of his films like 'Goodfellas' or even '15 Minutes'.

lastliberal What do Kevin Spacey, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Denzel Washington, and Russell Crowe have in common. They were all up for the Best Actor Award at the 2000 Screen Actors Guild competition. Spacey won for American Beauty, but Hoffman was there for this film.You can always predict that Robert De Niro will turn in a good performance, and he certainly did as a homophobic security guard who has a stroke while trying to stop a drug shootout.He has to ask Hoffman, a transvestite lounge singer that lives in his building, for help in recovering, after his physical therapist tells him that singing improves stroke victims.This is set amidst a huge group of drag queens competing in a talent contest, and drug dealers trying to get their stolen money back.It is hilarious and sad at the same time. Every gay and drag joke you can imagine is here along with tragedy that will make you cry.What is great is the transformation made by people that just take the time to get to know one another.Hoffman was magnificent. Wilson Jermaine Heredia was a riot.
