I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Finally finished it before bedtime. This movie is a real stinker.

I loved the ending

Me too. Saw in in the theatre when it came out…1997 maybe ?

Very 70s in its filming, performances, storytelling. Some logic leaps in there for sure, but I really enjoy watching the plot fold back on itself several times over, and Liotta, Stallone, and DeNiro are all awesome; Keitel seems to be on autopilot.
