Best Film of the Year....quite simply.

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2008)

When one watches the Oscars you may assume there was only 5 films released this year: juno, no country, blood and etc. After you really become connected with these characters you'll see a real winner.
The film captures the paranoia of James and the demented obsession of Ford. Also the razor tight rope wire his former gang members have to walk.
Scenery and setting are beautiful. The drama slowly builds as you witness the transformation of a disorientated/immature boy into a confused young man.
Acting is spot on, i thought Affleck was great until i learned he sounds like a bitch in real life. Pitt grows on you (im a fan but at first i thought he sucked)
Astounding storyline which unfolds itself like ART BE WARNED you must have the time and attention span to appreciate
