even my wife loved the movie

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2007)

This film vanished all too soon from local theaters. It has been a long time since a movie kept me so tense and alert. One ends up caring deeply about all of the characters, even the discussing ones. This takes tremendous skill on the part of the director. My wife and I often disagree about what makes an enjoyable and interesting story. We are in total agreement that this film presents complex characters in an emotionally charged story that is compelling from beginning to end.
I strongly recommend seeing this film. The only caution is that although it lacks to overt violence of many action film, the violence of this film is deeply disturbing weeks later.
