Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2005)

Brilliantly written and acted film. Standout performances by Clive Owen (WOW!!) and Natalie Portman. Not for the faint of heart or those easily turned off by strong language and sexual content. The dialog is blunt, honest and totally engrossing. For adults who appreciate great cinema. The performances are raw and riveting. Hope Clive and Natalie snap Oscars. It's unfortunate Mike Nichols failed to land an Oscar nomination. Or, Patrick Marber overlooked for best adapted Screenplay. Best acted, written and directed film of the year. (ESOTSM is a close second). Why can't they make more films like this? Go see this film you won't be sorry.
