Back when actors could act..

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2011)

So I am a bit of an action buff and get bored easy. This movie has a lot of dialog and story and while I was watching it I was wondering why I wasn't bored. I enjoyed the heck out of this movie and really found myself analyzing just why while I was watching. After a few seconds or so boiled it down to James Stewart and the director. The film has a great pacing, excellent build up when needed and a story that keeps you wanting to know just enough to make you pay attention. This was my first Alfred Hitchcock movie and after seeing this I'm going to check out more of his movies. The best way to see a good movie is to go into it knowing as little about it as you can so I try not to include details about the movies in my reviews. If the movie sucks then I'm not shy about including details and/or spoilers. The best way to watch this gem is at night and maybe with a loved one because it is kind of a romantic movie.
