Worth the art of it all.

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2003)

This film doesn't hesitate to get right to the action. The opening credits alone were a draw for me. The fast frame, freeze action was masterfully done. Throughout the film, the viewer is given the eyes of several of the characters, by use of the camera, which was quite enjoyable. The use of different angles really emphasized the emotion and tasteful action of each scene as well as evoked a sense of interaction with the viewer. The line between what's reality and what isn't becomes really thin when the viewer becomes engaged as such. One thing, though, the accents were hard to follow, so for me, watching the film was a bit of work, but well worth it in lieu of the art of it.
