a work of genius if you love films don't miss it!

Rating: 9/10 (28 March 2005)

Great movie, Tony Scott does it again, the ensemble cast and the power of the characterisation (by them) make this film watchable in a way that many of films of this genre sadly lack.The acting, script, levels of realism, passion, tight editing and moments of outstanding cinematography make this film, although sometimes difficult to watch due to the violence ,which unusually is not gratuitous, stand head and shoulders over most films this year. This movie is unrelenting and holds no punches, a breath of fresh air.....don't let it pass you by. For some reason this movie was not in UK cinemas long enough for me to check it out on the big screen, but I (on recommendation alone) purchased it on DVD and I am pleased to understate hugely just how impressive the package is.Four hours of extra goodies and as I have said already the film isn't half bad either.
