A Fine Piece Of Work

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2008)

I saw this film several days ago and let me tell you it is mesmerizing, magnetic and moving. It is a little slow at the beginning but once the movie gets about twenty minutes in it gets good, it shows you all sides of the war, the separation, the death, the horror that the soldiers had to go through. It also shows you the result of one person's actions and then later regret.
Atonement i must say has gorgeous scenery just breath taking, beautiful, i can't find enough words to describe the alluring county side.
The acting was superb although the little girl at the beginning "Briney" did annoy me a bit, it has several twists, and at the end of the movie it wraps everything up in a neat little package so you don't go home wondering what happened to so and so or how did that happen.
the movie jumps around a bit but you get used to it and you see it is a very clever movie making method.
All in all i loved this movie, an film i really enjoyed seeing, this it is worth it, so if you get the chance i really encourage you to see it!
