A pleasant surprise.

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2010)

I really wanted to see this movie long before it was premiered. But it wasn't until three months ago that I finally was able to do so. And I regret to have missed it at the theaters.
I didn't think that this movie would turned out this good. My first impression was that this movie would be entertaining and nothing more. I was wrong. I loved it from the first minute. The acting, the setting, the plot were all great.
Waltz did deserved his Oscar for this job. He did not only performed as one of the most credible characters, he was also the most intelligent and the meanest of them all. He is the kind of villain that you hate because the actor is doing such a great job. It just convinces you. And I am not even mentioning his impressive language skills.
Brad Pitt on the other hand confirms that he's a great actor. I have always respected him. A lot of his movies are my personal favorites. So in my opinion he is terrific at what he is doing. He does not rely on his looks, but in his talent. But I think I said all this before.
The story was good. It wasn't outstanding but it worked out fine. What was really good was the way they developed the plot. There are a lot of scenes were you can feel the tension between characters, and it almost makes you want to participate in the conversation. That's why I liked the script a lot, it was really interesting and well polished.
The soundtrack was great as well (Except maybe the Bowie's song near the end). It helped a lot to create the atmosphere. And in my opinion, the costumes were great as well.
To finish this review I will recommend this title for anyone. I might be a little harsh for the little ones but the grown ups might find this movie really interesting.
