"Once a man twice a child" definitely comes alive in this film

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2009)

A very good mix of "Forest Gump" and "Great Expectations" with a touch of originality. This movie was pretty decent. Brad Pitt was amazing as lead actor, Cate Blanchett was very good and Taraji P. Henson was simply outstanding as the overly caring mother figure......I must say that the story was very interesting, in that it did not let up for a second..everything just flowed and flowed so effortlessly and with a subtle intensity that it kept you focused without much of a struggle.... These guys really did their homework for this one.. I got one small complaint though, and i do so with a heavy heart. The length of the film is a "teeny weeny bit" questionable but then again i don't think it would have been so good if it was any bit shorter....Great Job Guys !!
