This movie will touch your soul...

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2003)

I have followed this film since pre-production and have been waiting for it with great anticipation. I feared that with all of the build up, it would be a disappointment, but it was far from that. The film was shot extremely well. It was casted extremely well. Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe are amazing in and of themselves, but even more so as their characters evolve together. This is a truly beautiful film all the way down to the score, done by none other than the great Hans Zimmer. This is the sort of film that forces you to look at your own lifestyle and question it. I was deeply touched many times throughout the film. Cruise does a great job in pulling you in and you feel as though you are right there with his character as he tries to find himself amongst all of the rubble of past wars, both across the world, and more importantly, in his mind. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. It will affect you and touch your soul in a beautiful way, leaving you wanting to be a better person.
