A suprisingly good movie

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2001)

I read all the reviews for this movie and did not want to see it, but my husband dragged me reluctantly. So I went in with very low expectations. However I was pleasantly surprised. The love story part was good. Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett breathed life into their characters. The action scenes are awesome! Many people were sniffling and wiping their eyes at the end (me included). So in summary, don't always believe the critics. I really enjoyed this movie. One good sign is that it did not seem almost three hours long, but always held my attention. I recommend it.
