    I thought the movie was okay. I have heard so much hype about it, that when I checked out the DVD, I was a little let down. I hate it when that happens, but everyone I know keeps saying "that is the best movie" and "I saw it in the movie theater and then bought the DVD". No offense to anyone - just my take.

    Reminded me of Sleeper's more than a bit. Very good acting performances all around. The denouement was a bit bizarre and unnecessary, and the final scene was cliche, so the movie isn't perfect. But it was engrossing and gripping. I give it a solid 8/10.

    Good actors, I found until near the end that there were no dull spots, like mentioned above my wife and I both said we could have written the end of that movie, like we knew what was going to happen.... not bad for a not so huge director !!
