Visually compelling

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2011)

Watched this last night and I absolutely loved it. Neil shot this film in a such a captivating way that I never was pulled away from the story line. Visually, very compelling. The story arc took a few turns that I didn't completely expect and I absolutely loved the ending. Bradley Cooper became Eddie Morra in this movie - completely bought in to the character's transformation. My only beef would be that with it's PG13 rating. I wonder if the intensity could have been turned up to 11 to really shake the audience; I do understand having it PG13 was a business decision and one that I hope proves successful. I'll get the unrated BluRay when it comes out!
