Those Critics and their silly reviews

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2006)

Wow, after reading only 1 review that was almost positive, from someone who had an early screening, well midnight one, i thought, What am i putting myself up for? The answer was 2 and a half hours of film, yes kinda long considering there was no f-words of explosions, they go down well in a coherent plot in my opinion, look at Pulp Fiction and Die Hard 2! But for a slow film this was well made, a breathtaking, not thriller in particular, drama about a silly little treasure hunt, like a mature National Treasure, which i love.
The fact that all the 'twists' are obvious without reading anything says a lot, but still, the score makes the film really work, a great use of choir esquire music really adds to the revelation scenes, and makes the car chase a little different.
Even if u don't care about the film, u see Paul Bettany whip himself, smug git, and we can all marvel and the fluffiness of Tom Hank's do.
Ron Howard, you have done it again!
