Visually stunning with superb acting

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2004)

This movie is funny when it needs to be and dramatic or suspenseful when the scale needs to balance out. Couple this statement with the fact that this movie is one of the top 3 visually stunning films this year and you can't go wrong enjoying this one. Jake Gyllenhaal delivers once again with another great performance. But Jake better get some roles outside of the "Donnie Darko" mold to showcase his talents or in turn be labeled as a mono-faced actor. Great flick. Imagine ARMEGEDDON without the trashy and wasted over the top Bruckheimer style. And with better special effects. They could have tied in the side characters a little better as well. But this one will leave you ogling the SE's!
