General overview

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2007)

overall i think it is a GOOD film. it has some pretty good actors in it to start with, Nicholas cage, John cusak, John Malkovich, and last but definitely not least, Steve Buscemi. this sound like an impressive line up. and it doesn't disappoint. all of them act very well, each adding there own touch to the film. the plot is also very good. i like how it manages to keep me entertained and happy throughout. At no point was i bored! this is quite something for me. normally if the first 5 seconds of a film don't please i wonder off and get something to eat. But here it was a different case. i liked where the film was going right from the very beginning. i think unlike some films the characters were developed on very well. you knew more than they were convicts. you knew about their backgrounds and what they had done. and generally about there mental stability. the star of the film, Nicholas cage, pulls it off very well. he puts on a very nice hillbilly accent and acts quite tough for the duration. sure some of his lines and actions may have been corny but i liked it never the less.
i think overall it is a good film and one i will buy, and watch many times.
