Pretty fantastic

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2014)

I actually don't ever hear much about this film, not like Kubrick's other classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey , A Clockwork Orange, or even Full Metal Jacket. To my surprise, this is pretty excellent. The story is intriguing, and a lot of moral complications arise, stuff that only Kubrick can so wonderfully get at and truly dissect. The performance here are pretty great, and Douglas gives so much to his character. One of Kubrick's undisputed heroes, no doubt, if not one of cinema's greatest ever. This might very well stand as one of the late director's best works, and am pretty struck that it took me this long to finally give it a go.
