Thrilling ride

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2013)

I've seen this film twice and loved it even more the second time. I absolutely adored the opening sequence as it gives you some idea of the speed of the journey you know you're going to take. Yes there are small holes in the plot, and questions you may ask, but the very nature of the film is not based on real life so who cares? Bradley Cooper is brilliant, and very engaging to watch, The direction and cinematography of the film are its major selling point, because as the story develops, the colour and clarity of the film become brighter. Bradley delivers his lines faster and faster, and Robert De Niro gives the film that little bit of extra credibility, and has been cast in the perfect role. It's a fun, exciting story, with a great idea behind it, and enough eye candy to suit all the women out there. THOSE EYES !!!! As for the men, they'll appreciate the slightly sci-fi wrapping, and the fight scenes, but above all the comedic lines that flow along nicely with the pace of the movie. Brilliant entertainment.
