one of the most under-rated movies i have seen

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2006)

I read some the user comments on plot loopholes and idiosyncrasies but you you should watch this movie and learn the lessons of life. I was really taken by the performances of Hopkins and Forlani with the father/daughter relationship. I fell in love with Claire Forlani when i saw her in this movie. She had an ethereal quality that really was the key and brought the film to another level. She was very well cast. It is difficult to imagine someone else in the part after seeing her.
The cast did a great job of making you feel for them even though they are rich and pampered - that is no small task. What can you say about Anthony Hopkins. He is more believable as a most respected , heavyweight CEO who has lived a meaningful and honorable life than any you will ever meet in real life. The stars of this movie are Anthony and Claire plain and simple. Excellent writing and casting If you don't appreciate this movie I feel that you probably have not experienced real life yet.
