Eminently watchable thriller

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2005)

However you take this film, there is no denying that it is one of the best thrillers ever made.
The more you watch it, the more obvious the subplots become; almost to a point where you can take the film on a level which upon first viewing is so well hidden you don't notice it. It may appear to be a fairly simplistic good vs evil tale, but this can also be applied to Neil vs Waingro, rather than Vincent vs Neil.
I would suggest the most intriguing thing about this film was the character development, and the basis of them upon real people. Real life isn't as polarised as Hollywood most often implies; so its nice to see a film where can view the characters actually developing throughout a film, and maybe hazard a guess as to what turned them into the people they are.
Serial killers, hi-tech heists and an expertly paced plot make this one of, if not the, best thriller ever made.
Don't take my word for it - watch it, then watch it again; you are sure to realise how deep this film really is.
