probably the best dolly shot you'll ever see!

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2000)

There is much that has been said about this film , on many different levels, but quite simply its success is due to it being, first and foremost, a fantastic piece of cinema.
Everything works. The leads are great, the locations are perfect and the story has at its root a tremendously powerful, basic and primal fear. And as for the direction! Witness some of the more incidental touches, like the scene where Chief Brodys' son imitates his actions. The genius of this film is that touches like this are seamlessly interwoven with jaw dropping moments like the "we're going to need a bigger boat!" scene.
And of course that reverse zoom dolly shot of Brody's face when he is sitting on the beach is alone worth buying the tape for!
