Loved it

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2003)

I get into movies. I love the stories that suck you in and keep you in until the end. I felt completely taken in by this movie. I even turned off the laptop to watch it. I thought it was one of Gibson's best and have a new respect for Phoenix. Nice to see there is at least one of the Caulkin kids who can act. The little girl of the movie (Bo) is also endearing. I enjoyed that all of the details came together in the end without being too obvious, imho. I have talked to many people who didn't like this movie at all, but I was literally on the edge of my seat. I was right a long with Pheonix, with his reactions to what he was seeing. Many of those I've talked to didn't like it because he was in it, and they aren't able to get past the character he played in Gladiator. I was impressed that he was able to give a completely different performance. I loved this one. Obviously.
