Outstanding movie, from a skeptic

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2008)

I had been put off by some of the remarks herein on Tom's accent, or that the film lacked tension. But I just got back from seeing this at the Arclight, and it is a fantastic film. Tom's accent is fine, given that at the opening he begins by speaking in German, then it fades into English so we can understand. The film is full of tension, extremely well written. There is suspense galore, everything you'd want in a cool adventure movie. I'm difficult to please as a film goer, so it takes a lot to evoke strong praise from me. But this movie does so. Ignore any negative comments you hear from the anti-Cruse crowd. Tom did a great job on this. This film is absolutely worth your time and money.
