netflix thinks i will give it 4.6 stars...did you like The Lives of Others? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405094/

I didn't watch The Lives of Others (will do, thanks for suggestion).

The Conversation's IMDB rating is 8.0, which is why I watched it, and while the movie was not bad, it was boring :)

This is a great film. It's got some of the best editing I've ever seen, and is overall a great story.

Marty Kaiser, was a technical advisor to that film and enemy of the state. Here's him @ The Last Hope Conference

I don't remember what they predicted, but since I usually like Gene Hackman movies it was likely 3-4 stars. I gave it 2, way too boring for even a 70's movie.

Recently saw this movie a couple of weeks ago. I really loved it--the recording Hackman captured is itself a character in the film.

Most of the best movies are from the 70s!

It would have been better for the submitter to link to an informational site instead of one of many media providers. But here's a better one that won't arbitrarily tell you to screw off:
