Leave it Alone!

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2001)

I must admit, going into the cinema, based on all the reviews i had read, i thought the film would be rubbish. Yet, i was suprised at exactly how good it really is! It's really divided into 3 different segments, Love Story, Bombing and Revenge. Although, the historical depiction of what the Americans REALLY did to Japan would have looked brilliant on screnn, it's understandable why it isn't seen (Heroshima)
I thought the effects were top class, and it was actually hard to see where they actually are, rare in films nowadays, and the leads chemistry was brilliant, and it really took you to a war senario, making you feel like you are actually there. Of all the characters i didn't really like Kate Beckinsale's character Evelyn. It's hard to feel that bad for her when she mucks 2 best friends about. That being said though, she was excellent anyway. I was really impressed with Josh Hartnett and Ben Afflecks performance, and at the end i actually cried, something i haven't done at a film in a while.
See you at the Oscars...
