Fantastic and entertaining MOVIE

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2006)

If we are debating political point of views and morals it is something else and many of us probably would have different perspectives about this movie or any others. But if we are talking Art and movie making, this is a swell of a movie. I would consider it a mix of Sin City and the Matrix without the distraction of the over-done special effects and digital techniques. The performance of all actors was "comme il faut". Natalie Portman's emotional takes were surprising, Mr Weaving was a performing poet as if he was in one of Shakespeare plays. All the other casts were so convincing, specially Stephen Rea who played the duality of loyalty and doubt. Briefly you get out of the theater feeling you have really been to the MOVIE.
