A Great Story

Rating: 9/10 (7 September 2009)

This film has become the film that wins most 'best 100' polls. I don't know why but it does.
However, this is a good movie. From my perspective I think it is liked so much is that the plot is ever changing and moves along at a good pace. The story seems to progress in little chapters and it builds to a wonderful climax. As the movie develops we become engrossed in what will happen next. We do enjoy Andy's victories over the bad guys and we do want to know what happens in the end.
Technically, This is nothing special. There are very few moody shots and angles that challenge the visual senses. Visually I do think this compares to Citizen Cane or Pulp Fiction. But in a way I think that because we are not distracted by fancy pictures we stay with the plot.
Make sure you watch this, even if it is just to see what all the fuss is about.
