Double Indemnity

Adam's point of view: he has seen it, is brilliant, its hot and sizzling, he thinks the movie is amazing and very well done

Sam's point of view: was disappointed, not a bad film, first half not suspenseful and a let down, did nothing for him,

I partly agree with sam because at the beginning it was a little slow but i also agree with adam because it did get very suspenseful. it was a good movie
