An all time classic

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2006)

I had heard of this movie for years before finally seeing it at the age of twenty four, just two years ago. Since then I have re-watched it several times, and never failed to get something new from each viewing.
The camera-work, directing, script and story are all fantastic, as is the ensemble acting from all involved, but without doubt the thing that makes me vote 10 on this movie is the relationship between Daniel (Sean Connery) and Peachy (Michael Caine). Two powerhouse performances to create a friendship that leaps from the screen and reminds you of the people in your life you are closest to. A masterful display that raises this from just being a good action/adventure movie to being a piece of cinematic history to be watched again and again. No spoilers, but the ending is heart-wrenching and satisfying all at the same time.
10 out of 10.
