chill down the spine....

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2012)

Today is 11/2/2011 just about 16 years since the release.Don't judge me on the account that what was I doing for last decade to miss out on such master piece.well I did see the movie decade ago but today wanted to brush-up with a more mature prospective.
These last 16 years saw dawn of many suspense thriller with antisocial and dark base but by far this one is the leader of the pact.Sharing the table with "silence of the lamb" it did put blood and evil on the table but left audience to garnish and savour.What was so amazing was the fact that without any cutting and slicing and on just mention of them just send a chill down the spine.The direction was clever enough to give hint to the dark circumstance and lead into a claustrophobic background and let the imagination go wild.
Story was no doubt the stronger of the lot and ending did make sense.The twist and turns and finally the ending was totally unexpected.I would like to write about it but wouldn't want to give away the whole experience of it.
Cast with Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt was in all fairness to the character or out of exaggeration I may say maybe it was meant for them.Freeman all experienced,exhausted and Brad Pitt young,agile although stereotype brought the much seriousness required.And kevin spacey which I noticed is not even in the first page of cast and crew requires much admiration for the negative role although small but major to the finish.
Over all strong plot, direction, cinematography, cast, acting and chill. A well deserved 9/10. I would further recommend for time to time brush- up to experience all the said above all over again.
