Naturelle points at the couch when the DEA enters


Has anyone else noticed how she subtly points at the couch as the DEA enter? Which makes me question if Nickoli actually was the only one to sell him out. any thoughts?

reply

No she didn't. She was pointing for them to go in the living room and wait.

reply

It's a joke anyway, they have a search warrant. So why does the DEA want put on a show to reveal that they have an informant close to him? The whole plot is simpleminded, could have been written by a kid in high school. In the special ed program.

@timlin-4

You mean it could have been written by you but wasn't. Shutup idiot.

reply

Exactly, lol. I love these kinds of comments as they basically imply that they could write a better script yet here they are making posts on IMDB as opposed to writing film scripts and selling them to Hollywood for big bucks, lol. There is a very good reason why that is the case.

DEA agents don't need to be "pointed" towards a sofa when they're searching for drugs.

Yeah, they're dead; they're--all messed up!

Oh look an idiot who think he/she is being clever or provocative. What a joke lol.

reply

No, she doesn't.

Couch cushions are always one of the first things they look at. Along with bookcases, stereo speakers, freezer, toilet tank.

Not only does she not point to the sofa, it would make zero difference. With a DEA search warrant, they take everything apart, Some take a day and some are completed over several days. This is their job and they will not miss your drugs -- Unless you are smart enough to NOT keep them in the house! This guy wasn't smart enough to double-bag Seal-A-Meal (r) then and bury them?. So easy to do and it's how all criminals treat their illegal gain and contraband.

This poster was spot on, every time I try to watch a Spike Lee film I feel the same way, childish simplistic film making, terrible to be specific.

Now cut down my post with your high end rhetoric

There is no need to cut down your post with rhetoric even tho the post you quoted is full of rhetoric itself. No film/script is ever going to garner approval from 100% of the population. Every film/script that has ever been made has people that dislike it and every film/script that will be made in the future will also have people that dislike it. That's an indisputable fact and its ultimately not important at all. What is important, at least when it comes to the overall percieved quality of a film, is the overall percentage of people that dislike or like a particular film/script. If a million people like a film and a single person dislikes it, how relevant do you think that single negative opinion really is? Or you could flip it around. If a million people dislike a film and a single person likes it, how relevant do you think that single positive opinion is? Of course, the answer is its completely irrelvant. Again, what is relavant is the total percentage of people that like or dislike a film.

As for 25th Hour, 85.4% of the people that rated it on IMDB gave it a rating of 7 or higher. 61.9% gave it an 8 or higher. In other words, 25th Hour is extremely well liked and is a very successful film in regards to people's overall opinion of it. People like yourself that dislike it represent a small fraction of the people that rated it in IMDB. That doesnt mean your not entitled to your opinion as you absolutely are. It just means your opinion isn't a widely held opinion and is is pretty much irrelvant when speaking to this films overall percieved quality, at least on IMDB.

So again, there is no need to cut down your post with rhetoric. This films score speaks for itself. Thats one of the great things about sites that have viewer scoring, the scores cut right through all of the rhetoric that people spew out one way or the other. So by all means, continue making negative posts about the quality of this film. At the end of the day thier completely irrelevant.
