Swimming with Sharks

The movies continue, today's: Swimming with Sharks.

Although I love the movie, I hate Frank Whaley. He's such a weasle. I know his character is supposed to be that way, but I just can't stand him. I can't believe anything he says. Of course Kevin Spacey is great and more than makes up for it. He has some great little speeches in the movie and a great character in general. You also get a quick scene with Benicia Del Toro who fucking rules. I don't know why, he just does.

I do find the ending troublesome though. It's not that I want him to kill Buddy, I like him, but I don't want him to kill his girlfriend either. I guess I just don't like people that are that unstable. I leave you with a quote from the movie as said by Buddy Ackerman:

Your job is unfair to you? Grow up, way it goes. People use you? Life's unfair? Grow up, way it goes. Your girlfriend doesn't love you? Tough shit, way it goes. Your wife gets raped and shot, and they leave their unfinished beers... stinking longnecks just lying there on the... So be it, way it goes.
