Are you sure there isn't and encore after the credits? I don't want to go yet!!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2000)

The opening scene of a hand trailing through the tips of soft wheat as it blows and the ferocious battle that occurred after sucked me right into Ridley Scott's new picture starring Russel Crowe (L.A. Confidential) and Joaquin Phoenix (8mm). The story line is so heartbreaking and triumphant at the same time it leaves you breathless afterwords. Spectacular acting by Crowe and especially Phoenix who intimidated me in the audience. The cinematography was beyond amazing and Scott's eccentric style of filming battle scenes is intriguing. I was anticipating this movie very much so because I grew up watching Ridley movies like Legend and Blade Runner. Those were standard must have movies and must see in my family. Take it from me, see this movie...don't be stupid.
