So cool

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2007)

At first I just wanted to see this film because Robin Williams was in it. But Freddie Highmore, who I first saw in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was very good. I also saw him in Finding Neverland he was great in that also. In August Rush he didn't really have as much negative emotion as he did in Finding Neverland. Keri Russell was surprisingly good as her character , Lyla Novacek. I've only seen her in one movie Mission Impossible 3 and she really did have a big enough part in that movie for me to judge her on her acting. But now that I really saw what she could do, she at least deserves a Golden Globe. Same with Freddie, Golden Globe. Mybe even an Oscar. He's so young but it's like his roles come naturally to him. Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who I've seen in several movies and a little bit in the Showtime series The Tutors. He did another great job. Better than all of the films I've seen him in. Robin Williams was awesome, (he's not the character you would think him to be). As an acting veteran he was mainly the big guy on campus in this film. Go see this movie, It's a tear jerker. 9/10.
