I would watch it again.

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2006)

I don't often watch movies twice. But this one is a cert. I wouldn't think it would suit everyone's sense of entertainment per say. But a artistically speaking I feel this is a thinking person's movie.
Hoffman was brilliant and so were the other actors, I think that was the key for it's success.
I really couldn't fault it - and I think what kept me so fascinated was Hoffman's acting. At the end of the DVD they had footage of Truman and particularly his voice - he did do a good job. The script was good too, when the portrayal that Truman was sensitive to Perry's detachment. He had led an abused child hood, and when Truman handed the picture he had of him and his sister, and said to him, 'Your sister misses you?" (when one got the impression she didn't) I sensed that was a great humanitarian thing to do to a convicted killer. And a softness rather than defensiveness entered Perry's eyes. Yes, good movie.
Only drawback was I had difficulty in the beginning understanding some of what Hoffman said, but soon got in tune with the unusual diction.
