Movie Making Done Right

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2008)

I went back and finally watched this last week.
I was pleasantly surprised.
Edward Norton's finest performance since his stint as a Nazi skinhead wannabe turned reformed good guy in American History-X !!! As always He is Remarkeable in his acting.
This film works and so much so that it begs the question... "Why was it so Under-Rated"? It also is proof positive that when it comes to promoting good movies NOT bad ones...
Hollywood doesn't have a clue what it's doing !!! The film is quite an experience...and as it moves along it creates an atmosphere of Magic and Illusion to put it mildly !!! This is a can't miss flick for guys and gals alike !!! Sheer entertainment and Let me just say this...
More than anything else...what makes it work so well is not just the story...it is the absolutely incredible acting here turned in by Paul Giamatti !!! Never liked him, but thats some piece of acting.
3rd best overall performance by an actor and bettered only by Heath Ledger's Joker and Javier Bardems Hit-man in "No Country' over the past 3 years !!!
