got better as it went along....

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2007)

but it was still to long. About an hour in, I was thinking this movie is not very good. I didn't think the characters were introduced well and was wondering who was on screen. But, then it got better and the story made more sense, but at almost 3 hours, it was still too long. Edited to about 2 hours and 15 minutes would have been better.
Eric Bana looked great in this. He was good as well as the other actors. It was just the story set-up needed to be better explained. A story like this had too much info to fit into a big screen film. It would have been better if this was a made for TV 5 part movie. Characters like Louis and his dad and the other killers besides Avner did not get enough development. I would have liked to know more about there back ground.
FINAL VERDICT: A good film on an important subject matter, but was too long. If you aren't familiar with the story, it is hard to understand some of the characters. Overall, worth watching.
