Don't really remember if I've seen this movie when it was released 20 years ago now - that's a whole anothed unbelievable and mind-blowing thing, that a 'new' 2004 film is 20 years old, it's like it'd be from 1984, if it was that old the year it came out...
Anyway, so watched it like for the first time, and it's not bad, definitely undeserving the low average rating it has, and I enjoyed seeing James Gandolfini and Ben Affleck at the age I've used to seeing them. For me as a millennial it still feels like it's 2004.
