The definition of cool!

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2001)

Luckily caught this the day of release in the US and avoided any hype and reviews before hand... Loved every minute of it from the acting to the script. Editing and soundtrack were superb. Brad Pitt is really picking his roles well - and here he bounces off Clooney brilliantly. With the huge list of big names there was a danger of actors trying to upstage each other, but that's not an issue here. I haven't seen the original so am glad to say I didn't suffer the problem of comparisons through this film and enjoyed it for what it was. The only criticism I have is that the plot does get a tad tangled in the climax and I would imagine that you might need a second viewing to pick up on everything...having said that - I'd be happy to watch this film a few times anyway. Have summed it up as having elements of Snatch, Tarantino and a bit of Mission Impossible. Can't wait for the UK release and have already ordered the Soundtrack!
