A great film made by one man, Phillip Hoffman

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2006)

This has to be one of the films of 2005 and one of the best acting performances ever. Phillip Hoffman is now Capote in my eyes. If he doesn't get the best Oscar performance for this role it'll be the biggest travesty since Brazil didn't win the soccer world cup in 1982. The performance was so good that the murderer's actions pale into insignificance compared to Capote's manipulation of the murderers. Put your money on Hoffman for best Actor Oscar. The whole film want you to find out more about Capote and indeed read "In Cold Blood". Amazon can expect an order very soon. I know they say its easier to play a dead person but you find yourself transfixed to Capote throughout the film.
