One of the best of the year! Academy Awards for Djimon Hounsou, Leo, Jennifer Connelly etc.

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2006)

We start all of our reviews with the following information. My wife and I have seen nearly 100 movies per year for the past 15 years. Recently, we were honored by receiving lifetime movie passes to any movie any time at no cost! So we can see whatever we want whenever we want. The point of this is that CRITICS count for ZERO. Your local critics or the national critics like Ebert are really no different than you or me. The only difference is that they get to write about the movie and are forced to see hundreds of movies whether they want to or not.Therefore, it is our belief that if you get your monies worth for two hours of enjoyment that is good enough for us! We NEVER EVER listen or read the critics. We only care about our friends and those who we know like the same things as us. Well enough about that.
What can you say after wow! A riveting two plus hours of entertainment with spectacular scenery and a story that is all too familiar in this terrible world we live in. Djimon Hounson gives a spectacular performance worthy of an Academy Award. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Connelly are equal to the task. This looks like multi Academy Awards to me. Simply a beautiful yet horrifying movie because of the subject matter. Wow Wow Wow. Kudos to everyone who made this movie possible.
