Pitch Black is Pitch Intense

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2003)

"Pitch Black" is incredible. For 99% of the movie you are held at the edge of your seat. You forget you're watching a movie and only feel absorbed into the fear and tension it has given you.
Vin Diesel as Riddick is incredible. He holds the whole movie together. The rest of the cast does a fine job, but with Vin it's true intensity comes out.
Mr. David Twohy's direction is excellent. All the pieces of a movie have to come together in order to male a film at this high of a caliber. But the direction of Mr. Twohy's and acting skill of Mr. Diesel stand out even above this.
The music to cap the whole story at the end is in excellent sync with this movie.

PS: On a lighter side, Mr. Diesel does a stellar role in "The Iron Giant" which I also highly recommend. See it and then find out which role he did - you'll be pleasantly surprised as I was.
