Thank You For Smoking 8/10
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would at first. It seemed like it was going to be straight on satire that would get a little sa-tiresome. But it mutated into something else. Something that I can't quite put a word to yet. But it's really something when a movie gets you rooting for the cigarette guy, you know what I mean?
I think this was Aaron Eckhart's finest performance since his debut in The Company of Men. I give it an eight because there were a few loose ends and some elements that made some scenes fall a little flat for me. But overall I found it to be very enjoyable.
