Its worth getting a sore ass from the theater seats...

Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2006)

The movie starts off really slow, and this was the first film I'd seen after Brokeback Mountain, and started to wonder if this was the British version of Brokeback. Thank God it picked up.
The end was phenomenal!! I normally am able to "predict" what the movie's going to do next, but this film kept me guessing. This movie had almost every genre in it. There were moments where it was a crime drama, a romance movie, a comedy, and the list goes on. I suggest that everyone should see this film, because it gives the audience a great message.
The acting overall was average, but Jonathan Rhys Meyers was amazing by the end of the film. The use of classical opera added such serenity to the film, it can't go unnoticed. Woody Allen has created yet another great film.
