The pace meandered a touch, but it was perfect, and wow I liked Viggo Mortenson's character Hitch. <BR/><BR/>Of course as I type this I keep seeing Tom Selleck as Hitch and I have to wonder why he passed on it.Ben Bouldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16024782701164448300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-51259838002340218192008-10-04T23:21:00.000-05:002008-10-04T23:21:00.000-05:00I was a little too busy this weekend to make it to...I was a little too busy this weekend to make it to the movie theater, but I'm interested in seeing this.

Selleck, for some reason, decided not to do the movie so Parker adapted the script into a novel, which may be one reason it translated back into a script so easily.Lee Goldberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442268370192897461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-52086955536730013592008-10-04T18:34:00.000-05:002008-10-04T18:34:00.000-05:00Saw the mive last night and enjoyed it immensely. ...Saw the mive last night and enjoyed it immensely. Yes it's traditional, but that means it isn't full of non-stop explosions. Nothing blows up for the entire film. VERY COOL!<BR/><BR/>The casting is excellent.
