fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2001)

a plot going nowhere it seems and suddenly, within 5 minutes, everything is clear, and u think, oh gosh did they make it that way. absolutely. thats the most striking thing about it. its not an obvious movie. its different, unique, beautiful at places, and out and out suspenseful. ofcourse, that is, if u understand it. i kept pacing with the movie. never heard of the ending from anyone. and things just got messier and then, boom!, everything was so obvious.
beautifully written. beautifully directed. the cast was perfect (though i thought if al-pacino had been in place of gabriel, it was an instant 9.9, but even then maybe 9.5 from me). kevin spacey was absolutely fantastic.
some ppl didnt understand this movie, thus they didnt like it. i dunno, i loved it. one of the all time greats.
