an amazing movie

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 2009)

I went to see this with a friend of mine on his birthday, and let me tell you, it was awesome. Brad Pitt was amazing, although I'm not so sure I like the revenge angle very much, but he was still great. The movie moves slow, but it's well worth the wait to see how it all pans out. There were several powerful scenes in this movie, starting from the beginning where we're introduced to one of the most complex characters I've seen in film in years. He is a man who hunts Jews in France and in the beginning of the movie he is on the hunt for people hiding in rural France. He has a long conversation with a man who is assisting some of his local country men, and in the end the man has to divulge that he is in fact hiding people. The scene is drawn-out and filled with tension. It is indicative of some of the other scenes to come. What a great movie.
