    I watch this movie over and over because of the Ennio Morricone music "Chi Mai". I'm lovin' it.

    Awesome movie, as it is different from most movies you are likely to see.

    Nothing extraordinary about it, although highly captivating.

    It may be the soundtrack. Whatever it is, its really good.

    Quite a poor movie to say the least..... Certainly not worth the time to watch it.
