So close to perfect . . .

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2005)

Personally, I have always believed that a long movie isn't always a good movie, but this film is the exception to that rule. At the end of the film I was shocked at how long I was in the theater; time just flew by. This film has everything I was looking for, action-wise, and a fantastic storyline that kept me at the edge of my seat. I loved the drama and the history--this wasn't just another story that someone dreamed up. It was interesting because these events happened before I was born. It was fascinating to see how the world was at that particular era. Hopefully, it will be advertised more so the public will be attracted to it. Because of the action and drama involved, I would say this is one of the best films of 2005, without a doubt. YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM!
