This is a good solid enjoyable movie.

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2004)

I was fortunate enough to attend the premier in Beverly Hills. Although the invited audience was predisposed to "like" this film, they reacted with great enjoyment.
There was laughter and tears, and I believe identification with both the heroes of the movie (Viktor, Gupta, and Judge Thurman) as well as with the not so heroic (Amelia and Frank).
John Williams music fits the scenes and moods perfectly, and while not on the same vein as Star Wars, provides the proper tone and background to heighten the films best parts.
This is a good solid film with enough plot to allow for a good enjoyable 2 hours at the movies, and enough to take away to the water cooler on Monday.
