Interestiong story; great dialog and performances

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2006)

I liked this movie - it held my attention from start to finish. From the ad material I saw, I didn't think I'd like it very much - seen it all before - thought the most it would be is simply "above average". However, it was so well done that I'll remember the movie for a while. It is intense all the way through. The dialog is smart, witty and biting. The performances are unusually strong and believable. Usually it takes a little while for me to become interested in main characters, but in this case it was almost instant (and there are many main characters). Kudos to the directors, screenwriters, actors and others responsible for the movie - great end result.
