Thoughts
I honestly don't know why I wanted to switch this off after the twenty minute rule. There wasn't really anything particularly wrong with it, and it was easy to see Jack Nicholson's character had quite the journey to go on. I guess I just didn't like anyone in the movie, and I couldn't bear the thought of spending two hours following them. Life's too short and there are too many movies to get through!
