An ultimate cat and mouse thriller.

Rating: 9/10 (29 September 2008)

I like this film for it's cat and mouse atmosphere.It's one of the best ever produced for it's type.Tommy Lee Jones is a favorite and never ceases to add to the appeal of any film,but what fascinates me most about this film is the Javier Bardem character.This is one of the most intimidating figures I have ever seen when it comes to cinematic villainry.He can bring out the vulnerability in even the cockiest of people.This is best evidenced in Carson Wells,played by Woody Harrelson.You would think by Wells' demeanor,that he wouldn't be backed into a corner so easily by this man,yet he is,and the change in demeanor is astounding.This a strong film from top to bottom and shouldn't be missed.
