One of the best movies of all time

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2003)

Not necessarily the best, but definitely one of them. Some will flame this film simply because Cruise is in it, and while he has brought us some real lemons in the past, this movie is a gem. The writing is solid, and every performance is excellent; the landscape and settings are absolutely on the ball.
This is not an action film, even though there are plenty of fight scenes in it. This is a drama, serious, and thought provoking. Some might call it boring, I call it profound.
There is language and violence, but there is no nudity, either sexual or artistic. Definitely for mature and developed individuals. It's given an R rating, but if you have mature teenagers, I can't say there would be any problem in taking them to see it.
