Gripping stuff

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2014)

I saw this movie in the cinema today, and feel I have to put on record that it is one of the best I have seen in a long time. A great story which develops into a proper "page turner", complete with unexpected twists. I won't try to summarise the story, because there are plenty good summaries out there already. Great acting and direction all round....with my only gripe being about the rather poor audibility of some scenes, particularly in the first 15 minutes or so. Yes, the characters here are talking in low voices - but I would prefer to be able to make out the dialogue. Not an issue if you have the DVD and can switch on subtitles of course. But I am glad that I saw this in a cinema setting, where the sense of being gripped is more complete.
