And Ronin had a great car chase, but other than that was a devastatingly boring movie.

I saw the thread title and though, "Oh, I'll suggest one of my favourite movies, Truth Of Consequences, N.M. since nobody's ever heard of that one." Then I get in here and BAM, first reply. All my life I've never met anyone that's ever heard of it, but it's such a great movie.
