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.

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.

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