Define underrated
A) Critics didn't give it what it was due
B) The public didn't give it what it was due
C) A and B
D) I don't know what underrated means but I saw it on this webboard once when referring to the movie Pulp Fiction. (Meaning you don't know what it means, though I would gather A B or C are your real answer.)
Personally I didn't think it was up to Fincher's standards (obviously it was but wasn't the type of movie I was expecting from him). It had an original plot and was decently good, but I was slightly disappointed. It may have been the loathing I have for Jodie Foster after far to many viewings of Contact (saw it at least twice when it came out on video, and watched it at least 3 more times, most of them with lazy teachers who wanted class filler). Or maybe it was the HUGE fan I was of Fight Club, Se7en and even The Game.
