Truly fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (16 October 2008)

I can safely say this is one of the best films i have ever seen. i don't think i need to write much about this film as it has all probably been said before. But its directed brilliantly, fantastic but brutal fight sequences, and all of the acting is truly tremendous, especially from Russell Crowe and more importantly, Joaquin Phoenix is unbelievable as the villain. He plays such a creep that u really do hate, but thats a good sign of an actor. The supporting acting is brilliant from Derek Jacobi, Djimoun Honsou etc, supported by a brilliant soundtrack.
U may need to have a handkerchief ready at the end though. Be warned!
Brilliant!
