Better than it sounds

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2007)

I'm 15 and probably would never have looked at this in the video shop and bought it. After i was introduced to it in English class and after watching it changed my mind about old non-action films. For the first 5 minutes i was bored to death but then as the film progressed i began to understand the characters and recognize some actors. Half way though the film i thought "Wow, I'm gonna hire this out". The film had everything from comedy, drama, romance, suspense and enjoyment and i thought "whats not to like". A top notch performance by a young Ethan hawke who played a nervous Todd Anderson. Its a shame you don't get movies like this anymore but this one is an instant classic.
