Cinematic equivalent of reading a James Patterson novel...

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2001)

Before I get into specifics, I should probably mention that I hadn't even heard of this movie until just a little while ago. I think I stumbled across it while perusing the imdb, when I noticed it made the #11 slot on the Top 250 movies of all time. That floored me.
How could this movie I'd never heard of, released just last year, beat out "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in a rating list without even passing in my radar? I was determined to find out.
So I gave it a rent, and I must say I was very much impressed. It's been a long time since I've watched a movie that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. As early as the first scene, I was dying to find out the full scope of the movie's mysteries. I couldn't wait to see what happened next.
And the movie complied by moving at a blistering, exciting pace without ever feeling rushed or leaving me behind. Very impressive, indeed.
Suffice it to say, I truly enjoyed this movie. I'd recommend to anyone who likes movies to go seek it out and watch it. It's a keeper.
