A celebrated 8/10!

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 1999)

What can one say about 2 very good actors of very different backgrounds meeting on a set of a 'theatrical play' and competing each other delivering the very essence of theatre and, why not, cinema ??? I was mesmerised throughout the film by the performances of both Brad Pitt and A. Hopkins, so much that I noticed how long the film is (more than 3 hours) only after it finished by looking at my watch! Martin Brest (Scent of a Woman (1992), Midnight Run (1988), Beverly Hills Cop (1984) amongst others) is not new to the 'theatrical play' genre, after Scent of a Woman (1992).Look out for Claire Forlani, she's magnificent! A celebrated 8/10!
