Was it any good?

Rating: 4/10 (28 January 2008)

Was it any good? Well if you have to ask then the answer is probably no, and I have watched it and I am still asking myself was it any good.
The individual elements were great.
Actors on top form. Check. Original plot, packed with social commentary and subtext. Check. Music score to create atmosphere. Check.
In theory it should have been great.
But was I entertained???
The answer is NO.
If there is a duller action/thriller movie out there then I have yet to see it.
I honestly think that this movie will be like most Oscar nominated movies, lauded for its cinematography and pathos, yet instantly forgettable. When you look back and remember the best films of 2008 this one will have faded into the mists of time.
