yeah it's good

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2004)

I'd heard a few things about this one and was expecting to be really impressed by it. It's very good but didn't quite meet my expectations; I give it a 7 due to 2 things. First, I saw the ending coming a bit early; maybe 5-10 minutes ahead of when it's revealed. (Aren't I clever? Oh yes, very. Shut up.) Second, and probably as a result, the movie just didn't quite grab me as much as I'd hoped it would. Otherwise, there's not too much to pick on here, besides perhaps the level of violence and/or swearing, if that bothers you. The cast is stellar, of course. Well done in pretty much every area.
So, get it, see it, you'll enjoy it (if you don't mind a solid R-rated thriller).
