I've heard strong opinions on both ends of the spectrum. Care to elaborate?

Is this the one that also goes by the name 'Escape from Absolom'? Haven't seen it, but it sounds a bit like Fortress. Speaking of which, there's a movie I haven't thought of for a long time. A fine slice of B-grade turkey.

i wouldn't know where to begin, it externalises all the cesspools of the human mind like the best lynchian dreamscapes but it's less stylised and in turn even more naked and vulnerable, i have a feeling it's gonna haunt me for a long time. it's the kind of film that'll cut deeper the older you get as well, a LOT bleaker and more chaotic than any of his other films, hence the polarised responses i guess - the direction is amazing though, i kind of wish he'd directed all his other screenplays.
Synechdoche, New York made me wish I didn't have to age. 
That said, I loved it something awful. Honestly, did any actor ever seem as vulnerable as Hoffman?

yeah it's great. i saw the mediocre as hell righteous kill when it came out and it just left me pining for that movie.

I've never heard it go by a different name, but I could be mistaken. It's with Ray Liotta, and he's on this island full of prison inmates that are divided into two tribes (the savages and the peaceful ones) and shit starts to happen. I haven't seen it in a few years, but I remember it being enjoyable
Philip Seymour Hoffman's acting in Doubt pretty much solidifed my opinion of him as being a stellar actor.

Scifi, horror, anything violent. I love: The Matrix trilogy, Resident Evil series, Awake, the X-men trilogy, Alone in the Dark...I'm sure I'll think of more later.

ALLY TO GOOD, NIGHTMARE TO YOU
It is a brilliant movie. It really is about everything, somehow, and should speak to anyone who will listen. But I'm not sure I enjoyed it, and I'm not sure I will ever want to watch it again.
If that is the case, it will be the death of me. Cut deep enough already.

i've been desperate to watch it again ever since i saw it but i'm refraining for now. i live for stuff that twists in my gut that way though.
