Great movie if you have the attention span for it, which, considering the length of a few religious threads of late, at least a few of you probably do. It's Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson sitting in an apartment arguing about God for an hour and a half.

If I thought that in death I would meet the people I knew in life, I don't know what I would do. That would be the ultimate horror, the ultimate nightmare. If I thought I was going to meet my mother again and start all of that over, only this time without the prospect of death to look forward to... that would be the final nightmare. Goddamn Kafka on wheels.

Yeah, it's a really good and thought provoking movie. Would recommend.

edit: Nope Tych, you learn pretty quickly that one of the characters just saved the other from jumping in front of the Sunset Limited train.

There are a couple instances where they hear loud banging and shouting coming from another apartment. That's about it.

Again: Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones. If it were Hugh Grant and Dennis Quaid it'd be a snooze-fest. The acting is fantastic.

It doesn't sound like something I would like, but then I am not very cultured. mischief

Have you ever seen The Man From Earth? If you could sit through that you can easily sit through The Sunset Limited.
