Excellent, Best drama in years !

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2000)

Simply, all I have to say about this film is, I cannot believe American Beauty won the Oscar ! Al Pacino's performance was as passionate as I've seen him give, as deep into his character as his roles in "Scarface" and "Glen Gary, Glen Ross".. Russell Crowe is a force up and coming, and Michael Mann's direction is once again spectacular. With a sound-track as eerie and deep as "Dead Man Walking" this film is a must see... I rate it a 9 1/2
