A Brilliant Film

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2009)

This film is a fantastic piece. One of the best you'll see from any genre. The story propels you forward right from the start and doesn't stop until the final scene. This propulsion starts early once the main title sequence begins. It's mesmerizing, and sets the mood brilliantly. Even the end credits are done in such a way that becomes unique to the story. The locations, production design, and cinematography work seamlessly to create such a perfect world, that's found in no other film. In addition, the two leads, Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, are so diametrically opposed in almost every way, creating an interesting chemistry on screen. As often as I've seen this film, I never tire of it.
