Great film.

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2006)

I found the film very slow at first, and was tempted to fast forward the video (which I'd borrowed from the local library), but then the atmosphere caught me, and I was hooked! Yes, it was like a modern day 'BRIEF ENCOUNTER', which gripped cinema audiences just as tightly in its day. Just goes to show the elderly (like me) cynics that very modern films can still be great, and show the modern ones that truly memorable films don't need millions of pounds' worth of special effects to make you hold your breath. I wish I'd seen it at the cinema. I thought the sound was playing up on my little old TV when I couldn't hear Bill Murray's whispered last words! I kept rewinding that bit, with the sound turned up to its limit, and also came onto this website to ask what his words were, so it was very interesting to read above that we are not meant to know. Am recommending it to all my friends. Thanks for all the perceptive comments, from Jill.
