It was alright.........................

Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2006)

The performances were solid, supporting to lead the characters were outstanding and showed much depth (even Willhem). The scenes were well crafted and the 'look' of the film was quite intense. However I did have an issue with the story and the back and forth, cute to clever scenario. I wished the film was able to dwell into the direct relationship between Clive Owens' character and Christopher Plummers.' I felt there was more to be said to the reasoning behind his purpose. Maybe a second viewing could perhaps answer this. A sequel would help, but I hope that is not even an option. It's a character driven film and a little bit more. I still would recommend this film, it's a change from all the splash and squash were delivered down our throats by the chimps in tinsel town.
