Great, but.....

Rating: 4/10 (21 February 2008)

Daniel Day Lewis should receive an Oscar nomination. For his was a tremendously tense and dramatic role. The cinematography is excellent. The casting was on the mark. The intensity was, well...almost too much. The director does a good job of starting and ending, both succinct. The portrayal of the characters was excellent. BUT, whomever wrote the soundtrack should be eliminated from further movies. It is eerie and depressing. Parts of which could be used for minimal time in certain scenes. Certainly never for the entire movie. This could have easily been a great movie. Now it is turned into a "I'm glad that's over" movie.
