Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: Extremely well acted, great movie. Damage is both compelling and disturbing in its realism and psychological content. The intimate scenes between Irons' and Binoche's characters are some of the few that I can actually watch without laughing--the scenes are very mature and believable, as opposed to movies that seem to pander to a goofy teenage audience. The obsessive attraction is also very believable. The first time I watched this film a couple years ago, I too felt somewhat as some critics do--that there was no reason for the obsession between the two. However, having actually been there (unfortunately), I now appreciate even more the seemingly "inexplicable" nature of obsessions. There is often no "one" reason. Just many subtle nuances and coincidental timing that happen in real life--and that Malle has portrayed in this film as beautifully and disturbingly realistic as possible. Answer:
Yes

Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: Paul Haggis is up for a Best Screenplay Adaptation Oscar for his reconfiguration of "Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner" by former cut man F.X. Toole. Toole's writing supplies the film's life blood, a knowledge of boxing and its people while Haggis supplies the kind of formulaic cliches you'd expect from a guy who wrote TV shows ranging from "The Love Boat" to "Mr. Sterling" for twenty-nine years before writing and directing his first film, "Crash" (which apparently was never released in theaters or on video).The situation in Toole's story has emotional impact but it's a good thing "it's not a boxing movie" because everything about the character's rise to the top is unbelievable. And the "movie about a boxer" is about what you'd get if some truly talented actors starred in a made-for-tv movie. Answer:
No

When I called, they were stubborn and made me pay postage to send those boxes back that I did not order. Plus they were very use pathetic. I did research and realized the original Firm has nothing to do with the old. It is now owned by Gaaiam. The choreography is not half as good nor are the workouts.If you are ordering Firm workouts you need to get the older ones before Gaiam bought them out. They just use the name. Ideally dislike this corporation and will refuse to purchase anything with their name on it. beware! Answer:
No
