Great film...

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 2000)

This film is definitely a great film. I loved the story because it was so character driven. The cinematography was more than extraordinary and the acting was superb. For a debut film by a 21 year old (Orson Welles), the film is a pure cinematic achievement. But on the recent AFI list of the top 100 films of all time, they named this film as being the greatest film ever made, ranking it at #1. I agree it's a great film, with a fantastic cast, and a script with depth, but I can't rank it was the greatest film ever made. I give the film a grade of an "A", and a 8 out 10.
