A real blockbuster ....

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2005)

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is a real 'in your face' movie from the start to finish, lots of close ups and exciting action scenes. DiCaprio gives a stunning performance - just brilliant. The sets are sensational.(one borrowed from Moulan Rouge??) The plane crash scene had me call out 'N--o!!' in the theater, sorry to everyone that was there; but it was so real. Three hours of total exhilaration, and acceleration. I didn't want it to end. Cate as Katherine did pretty well, but I thought the quirkiest support performances came from Ian Holm who played the Professor, and Beckinsale as Ava Gardner. Definitely go and see this at the big screen....The story of Hughes only covers part of his life and times, and the times he was investigated etc; I hope a sequel follows.
