I really liked this one, but felt weird about it. I'm not sure what it is, but something about the film rubs me the wrong way. The acting is great, the characters are fantastic, the dialog was well thought out, the structure was solid, the imagery was cool - especially the crash sequence.

It's completely irrational, I know. It's a really good film, It just doesn't seem like something I'd want to watch again...

Does that make any sense?
