Should be compulsory to watch.

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2002)

Most of the IMDB Top 30 I disagree with. The majority I find either a)awful or more often b)Good, but certainly not great. After an hour or so, I started mentally making notes to classify this as the latter. It was good but sort of plodded along with no great direction. Suddenly, the last third of the film arrives, and everything that went on before fell into place brilliantly. I've never before come across a film where the ending added so many extra marks on, thus making the whole film amazing. Only this & the Great Escape I can truly say have evoked every emotion possible in me from high to low, and I dare I say don't even like James Stewart that much either, but he's brilliant & suited here unlike Vertigo.
Everyone in the World should watch this film.
Not quite a 10/10 but a very very high 9.
