A First-Rate Thriller

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2002)

This is a great film. The writing, directing, acting, and cinematography are all superb. I especially liked the performances of the three leads. Pacino and Swank's performances are all you can possibly ask for, and it was so nice to be reminded of what Robin Williams is capable of as an actor doing a serious role. The premise of the film is pretty basic, but the execution of it by the film makers and talent make it truly something special. Christopher Nolan is fast becoming one of the great directors of our time. Between this film and Momento, I can't wait to see what he comes up with next...
