pretty cool

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2009)

I'm not going to claim this is a masterpiece. but it is very very enjoyable. the reason? probably because this film delivers on so many levels.
the fight scenes are brutal and enjoyable to watch, almost like the epic battles of braveheart...you know, without the swords and bare butts and stuff. the drama is gripping enough to make you want to empathise with the characters but not so intense the film becomes some sort of emotional drama. the screenplay is well written to pull off a comedy, drama and crime genre. furthermore, great performances all around, esp Charlie hunnam, although Elijah wood may of been miscast, he did manage to pull it off. great direction from Lexi Alexander too the 106 mins went by very quickly and that, to me, is the hallmark of a good film.
