Good Movie

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2008)

I found this movie enjoyable, but was puzzled by the ending. I did not see it as the appropriate conclusion; only a way to justify the title. Although this is a character study, I would expect a movie of this quality would have a little more deconnotative meaning. Maybe I just missed it. The performance by Daniel Day Lewis was excellent, but I have seen it before and felt cheated. He should not of received the best actor award for copying the same character he portrayed in the Gangs of New York. The travesty here is only matched that he did not win it then when it was original. In basketball, they call this a make-up call.
