A point or should i say 9

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2006)

It's terribly sad to read other comments on the message board which appear to be posted by uninformed movie-goers, either expecting an all-out war movie, or, on the other hand, an anti-war, politically driven spoon feeding. Surely if you have the effort to comment on a film, you have the will-power to read at least a synopsis on what the film actually consists of. That way you can happily avoid disappointment.
I found the film not only informative, which i'm sure was half of the point, and also very entertaining. A film such as this, with no strong story line to follow, Almost counts on strong characters throughout the film: the cast, in my opinion, definitely delivered. Jake Gyllenhaal, aka Swoff, was entirely watchable in every scene. Jamie Foxx was genuinely intriguing and Sarsgaard's performance was nothing short of perfect.
Brilliantly shot, darkly humorous and beautifully acted. Don't go and see it if you're expecting a death-fest, no re if you want your typical beginning, middle, end... morale. I give this film a 9. Watch it, make what you want of it, but enjoy it for what it is.
