Loved it or Hated it..

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2011)

This was one of those movies that people either really enjoyed or hated. I'm one of the former. The casting was dead on,and the characters were sympathetic, you cared what happened to them. The special effects were top notch, but didn't overwhelm the plot, instead were woven in quite nicely. An excellent soundtrack, compelling plot and story, solid acting performances, and fluid pacing made this an enjoyable cinematic experience. I was able to forget my troubles and lose myself in the story for a couple of hours, and when all is said and done, I think that's whats its all about. The sub plot with Cage as the distracted single parent and the relationship with his soon was well developed and poignant. This is definitely one of those movies that you know your going to watch again.
