True depth in a superb movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2001)

A superb movie, with some of the best acting, cinematography, music and dialogue I have seen for a long time. Extremely stylish, yet retains a raw and relentless edge. Also some very funny lines, and one of the most insanely quotable films I have ever seen. This movie will make you think, whether you like it or not, and there is a depth to it that I was completely unprepared for the first time I saw it. A few stunning moments, along with truly profound observations and edge of your seat tension. Both Norton and Pitt play the parts wonderfully, and Norton's double role as narrator works well. Probably not suitable for those easily offended by violence, but otherwise there really is a message in this movie, a strong one that will not go away. See this movie, it is the one you have been waiting for if you are in the least bit cynical about the way society sometimes seems to be going, or if you just really fancy a great way to spend a few hours.
