I usually never see movies in a theatre and just wait for the DVDs, as I'm just not a movie buff to begin with. I'm on travel and didn't have much else to do.

This is one of the best movies I have seen in quite a while. Agreed, do not go to try to read up on it because it just doesn't do it justice. This is one of those movies that you can enjoy more by knowing less about it up front. The action starts pretty much in the first minute and continues throughout the movie. I don't even recall a "slow" part to it.
