Yes, I saw that one, but didn't rate it too highly, mainly because it's 
based on a silly argument that people keep coming up with in connection 
with that sort of thing. Avoiding spoilers for other people means I 
can't say more. It's a well-made film, but for me, very disappointing. 
It could have been much, much better (at the cost of the original 
storyline).
