I was into it start to end and in between

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2006)

With the historical opening, I thought this was going to be one of those movies that takes a while to get into. That thought lasted about a minute. I got into it fast and in a big, big way. At every point. Not a false move, not a weak moment. Great ending, too. It had action, culture, love, revenge, paranoia, blood, great acting, great lines, great plot, great photography.
I went for the politics, too. We need strong statements about what's going on, and why not in a terrific movie? It didn't come across as heavy handed, because it's part of the central plot.
It's a measure of the movie's power and meaning that we all root for the Parliament building to get blown up in the end. Imagine that! If you can't, then see this movie, and you will.
All this for less than $10? I think I'll go back tomorrow and watch it again.
