This movie surprised me

I took it upon myself to watch all of George's movies, although I will admit I've seen his trilogy hundreds of times. This movie started out strong, lagged a little in the middle, but completely sucked me back in at the end. The acting is sporadic, but I always found someone to like in each scene. Ed Harris' butt isn't too shabby, either.

The stunts were quite realistic, and I can't believe they actually walked away from some of them.

The cameo by Stephen King and his wife Tabitha was priceless - he plays his usual bumbling self.

I really started to enjoy the "young apprentice"?, but I never really understood how he became one of the troupe.

Okay, moment of truth - I cried at the final scene.

All in all, this was a good movie, and I'll add it to my collection.

score 7/10
