Excellent.

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2006)

This is one of the greatest pieces of art we will see in the past 20 years, and anyone is doing a disservice to themselves to not watch this film. The cinematography is perfect. I even read the book and I believe this might be the only film that is more powerful than the great book that inspired it. The end is about symbolism to a part of the book's theme and a great deal toward the end that the point of their mission. At the end Avner says, "There is no peace at the end of this, no matter what you believe." That is one of the main points and which is why this book and film are things to learn from. It is a must see for anyone who appreciates film or culture. There is not better film in Stephen Spielberg's repertoire than this. And there is a better score that ties every great shot together from John Williams that ties up any loose end and builds the drama of every philosophical question and symbolic presence.
