Paul Thomas Anderson's debut film is just as grand as the rest of his features, all things considered. It's a full fledged version Cigarettes and Coffee, the director's previous short film, and it extends and excells everything that's tense about that short film. One can only dream of creating something as polished and engaging as Hard Eight. That being said it's not perfectIt definitely does not harm the film's quality, but it took me a long time to see it because it's difficult to find on DVD. I would gladly pay 20 dollars for it on blu ray or DVD.
Great movie! I think most people would enjoy it, if they give it a chance.
