I know that this film is not without controversy here. I just watched it again. The acting is truly superb. The interweaving stories are compelling. But I still have trouble with the jumbled manner of telling the stories, as the film constantly leaps back and forth in time. The DTS soundtrack is stunning. Worth a looksee and highly recommended.
Follow Ups:
I really enjoyed this film as well. One question I do have is this...why was it important for this film to jump around in time so much? A story as well-crafted as this appears to be must have a reason for doing it this way...
The director's previous film was apparently also constucted this way.
I thought it was powerful.
I can probably find faults if I want to but I sat through 3/4 of Swordfish last night...
c'om jeff, we know you just ff'd to the shots of halle's mams :-)
Ok, I admit it.
I held it, I mean them, with the remote.
Frozen mams...
But after, I said to myself, 'is this a good pair of films or not'?
The answer was 'no'.
LOL!!! Rumor was she had some big bucks added to her contract to show those babies in that flick.
valuable.
It's a tough film to watch, but every time I do I appreciate the tortured character Benicio depicts so well. Naomi ain't bad, either.
The pity is it couldn't satisfy itself with depicting these tortured, interweaving lives without the hokey murder angle: Hollywood just has to have the ultra-violence, doesn't it?
Still, the great strengths of the film far outweigh the trite plot contrivances.
