I don't think I would mind really. The last time I've seen the film has been a couple of years (have seen it twice I believe), but now that you've mentioned and discussed the film - well, sort of - some scenes are popping up, so I'd like to see it again. Even with someone who thinks the films is nothing but "bad" and who'd love to point that out, as I could show you the opposite.
For example, I remember vividly this one scene were Theo, the unwilling protagonist, and the pregnant woman have to get a car on a muddy driveway started out of sight of some men that are revealed to not have the best of intentions.
The driveway is long and slowly Theo manages to get the car rolling down it, toward a stretch of paved road. When he is about halfway, the bad guys notice the couple pushing the car and they come running down after them. Barely in time Theo manages to reach the road, gets in the car, gets it running and drives away.
Now, if we were to sit together I could explain how well this shot was done - yes, shot: singular (there were several which greatly helped heighten the suspense) - not only because of that fact, but how great the camera work and direction were right then and there (for example, keeping Theo and the guys following them in the same frame throughout the shot).
