Brilliant

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2011)

This film is simply...brilliant. From the cinematography to the dialogue to the acting, each area of this film is done to perfection. The story is brilliant, the acting is genuine and the script is hilarious. Enjoy!
I hate to go on and on about how good this film is but apparently you must write 10 lines of text, so that's the reason why I'm elaborating on my (original) first paragraph...
...the best thing about this film for me was definitely Ralph Fienes - his comedic timing is top notch. Warning: This film is violent.
The films dialogue is quick, sharp, and very very witty. Colin Farrel is superb - his crying is really heartfelt as is his understandable grieve over a major plot device that occurs early on the film.
Although this film is brilliant, I have only given it 4* as oppose to 5* as I felt the film became a little drawn out towards the end. Plus, I would have preferred a more conclusive ending that the one that was presented to the audience. Despite this the film is still great and one I would certainly recommend any person(s) reading this review to check out.
