Bring it to the screen.. done with talent.

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2005)

I found this movie very interesting, the slowest part for anyone will be the way we are used to seeing these actors. They are passionate without haste; much is to be said about control as well. I found the movie slow but interesting enough to tell the story and watch with eyes open and wide for the next twist. This is not Alien, so if your looking for action there is little, if your looking for good honest acting and plot that would tell a story that would be hard to bring to the screen without the talent involved, this would be a personal hit for you.
Ron Howard's daughter debut is wonderful; she brings you into the story without notice, and introduces herself perfectly to the plot. The acting I have seen in this movie is not understood until reflection on the movie after you are done and wondering when the next one will be out if there is one. The same feeling you get after reading an introduction novel to the plethora of sequels to come. One series comes to mind, Steven Kings "The Gun Slinger" Series, for me, for you would be different I would expect. However the movie will leave you with the same feeling of anticipation.
Synopsis, the acting is what pulled this from a book to the screen. I could have not seen any other way to do it, this movie and ultimately the plot is only as good as it is because of the actor's ability to make you believe each word they say. To state it in a sentence, this movie is the gold in the pile iron ferrite that is movies of today.
