amazing from start to finish! Michael Douglass is king in this performance

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2005)

This film is gripping to the end, anyone who criticises it is not seeing it for what it is. 90 Min's of escapees. Now i love Michael Douglas anyway and this I feel is his best work- hes superb as Nicholas- a rich arrogant fat cat who has it all- then his world gets turned upside down almost overnight- I can watch this over and over again and for people that haven't seen it yet- it's a real treat. Personally its one of my favourites of all time- the story line and characters are just fun to watch= the chilling music score is perfect and the director captures the concept very well. Although Sean Penn doesn't have a large role- he is very affective as the ex-junkie younger brother.
