A ground breaking thriller and one that will always live in my memory

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2010)

Like so many other people who have watched this film I was captivated by the whole two hours experience and to say that the film is atmospheric is an extremely large understatement. To watch this film in the cinema all those years ago when it was released was like an epiphany. I suspect that most people must have been aware of the story line before they viewed the film but quite naturally would have wanted to watch it first. The film hits you from the first second and keeps the tension and excitement throughout. Once in a while a film comes along which just bursts on to the film scene and it is immediately obvious that you are watching something very special. I would highly recommend anybody watch this magnificent creation. To the cast and crew that were responsible for this classy piece of work I would personally like to thank them all for their efforts and the professionalism and craft that they all applied in its making. Once again when the resulting film is very good the total seems to be greater than the sum of all its parts and in my opinion this is one of those films. This film has numerous added ingredients which are naturally occurring but only in the better films and it is these intangibles which make the special films special. I have never been entirely sure what all of these intangibles are but when you watch a really good film you will know when they are there.
