Compelling

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2005)

If you liked Magnolia you will like this. Excellent Performances all around, great photography and a great soundtrack. Above all, though, a compelling storyline weaved together at a pace I for one found perfectly gauged to the piece.
I was most impressed with the performance of Sandra Bullock. Her character was probably initially the most least likable and I enjoyed the casting choice. Matt Dillon - an actor I feel who is on the verge of a "Travolta - Pulp Fiction" type revival again put in a solid performance. The whole ensemble was flawless - though of course top honours go to Don Cheadle. Please if you see one movie (apart from Sith) this year - see this one.
