an amazing film of high quality.

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2008)

I am still thinking of this film over two weeks after seeing it. The music score .the silences. the quality of the acting.the brilliant scene constructions. the cinematography... together with the wonderful scenery...I am still in awe of how the oil gusher and fire scenes were made ! The sound quality as well , when the cinema trembled as the oil was rising up from the depths of the earth was exciting. all of these things , and more..came together to produce a story of high tension and surprise, quite frankly I feel this picture will be thought of as a classic in the same vein as High Noon, or Casablanca.. and will be shown in the future many times. The fact that there are fifteen minutes without dialogue at the beginning really draw you into the story. I enjoyed it !
