When this movie came out, I remember hearing about it and people saying that it was a trend-setting one. I suppose it is. But, for hype, I expected a bit more from the script. Yes, the character development, the acting, etc were good but the story needed a touch more, IMHO. At the end, I had that empty feeling of "that's it?" and that means, a major emotional line was missing. Sorry, if you are a big fan of this movie (later remakes and TV series and all that), but for me, while I enjoyed it, it could have been better. My Rating: 6.5
