Amazing

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2006)

This film is simply superb. It is so refreshing to watch a movie that is so entertaining and captivating without being filled with the usual high-speed action, flashing lights and violence that you would normally expect in a movie of this genre.
The brilliance of this movie lies in the performances of the characters- it undoubtedly has one of the best casts in any movie ever made. Every word spoken, every action, every look by every character is immaculate in its intention. The film also gives us what I believe is one of Pacino's best performances, from start to finish he is utterly enthralling, particularly in the famous 'ATTICA!' scene, the scene where he is speaking on the phone to Leon and then his wife and of course the scene where he is creating his will.
To conclude, I loved this film.
