Simply Brilliant!!!

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2000)

Must admit the first time I saw this in the cinema although I was blown away I was lost off. Never has a film benn crammed so full of facts and figures. This movie demands repeated viewings and at 3Hrs plus that shows the quality on show here. There is not one bad performance here with even bit part walk ons being able to show complexity in their own situation. Costner has rarely been better and anyone ready to write Costner off should check this film out. Performances, albeit in small roles, by Donald Sutherland, Jack Lemmon, The Late John Candy and also the cameo which re-introduced us to the underapreciated Kevin Bacon. Joe Pesci is dazzling in a turn which truly deserved Acadamy attention. This movie deserves your attention
