About fifteen minutes into this movie, I turned to my mom and said, "It's Monk!" And, yes, that Nicolas Cage character felt an awful lot like Adrian Monk from the TV series "Monk"... except this guy's on the opposite side of the law. I came out of this unsure what genre it was, actually... At first it looks like a caper movie with an unlikely hero, then suddenly it's a relationship movie, and then it goes back to caper at the end. It's also got a dark-ish ending, although optimistically dark if that's possible. Okay, let me take that back. It's sad, but not that dark. However my mom liked it so obviously it couldn't have been all that sad. Erm, I was about to conclude this review except I realized I hadn't actually said what I *thought* about the movie. Heh... Okay, I'll say this. Having seen it, I don't have any strong feelings for it... but I do remember it being fairly enjoyable all the way through. Therefore... It must be a fun, but not utterly fantastic, movie.Memorable quotes:

"We should part more often."

"Yeah, it's called AstroTurf."
