A religious conversion

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2002)

This is the film that got me back into cinema going. Having missed out on the pleasure for a number of years, mainly due to some poor releases, I finally bowed to pressure and tagged along to see what the silver screen had to offer. Wow, what a film to go back to, it has everything. From the edgy soundtrack to the rain sodden opening scenes the atmosphere ( which should be bottled and given to aspiring directors) grabs you by the throat from the very beginning. The plot unfolds beautifully, helped along by stunning performances and real chemistry from Freeman and Pitt, right up the the inevitable, but truly shocking conclusion. I left the cinema in silence. Once more a disciple
