  Did not hold my attention

  Crime pays
  
  This is a totally brilliant fim and never disappoints however often one views it. Kevin Spacey at his best. A classic.

  Second only to The Prestige.

  The main suspect was the film...
  
  the crime was wasting over an hour and a half of what I at least consider to be precious time. The verdict was a uninamous one;
