I was shocked. Charlie Sheen in an excellent movie!? I purchased this movie after remembering that it had received an excellent review, 2 thumbs up, by Siskel and Ebert. I have fallen out of the habit of going to the movie theater, instead preferring to buy movies for home viewing, letter-boxed only, of course. I've already watched it twice and I know that I'll watch it a few more times. That's my test of a good movie.
