Well shot, and well acted

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2002)

Although to some this film may be seen as a drag, the creators did a fantastic job on making a film that both looks brilliant, and leaves you in a certain frame of mind. All of the actors from the charismatic Hopkins, the powerful yet interesting Brad Pitt, to the hideously obnoxious Jake Weber, and the beautiful and expressive Forlani, did an exceptional job.
Combined with Thomas Newman's touching soundtrack and Emmanuel Lubezki's camera-work, Martin Brest and Co. have created a little-known yet wonderful film.
