Just a great movie.

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 1998)

Superb acting backed up by an excellent script leads to a great movie. I was pleasantly surprised by Ben Affleck's performance and Joseph Fiennes will certainly be getting calls from talent scouts after this showing. This is the first movie I've seen since As Good as it Gets where I actually emotionally connected with the characters. If there is any flaw with this movie it comes at the end when they drag out a connection between the two leads and Shakespeare's play, Twelfth Night. But it really doesn't take away from the movie as a whole.
