Towards the end of this movie the director choose to use Bernard Herrmann's score to Alfred Hitchcocks classic 1958 film 'Vertigo'.WTF?
I'm watching this movie, then all of a sudden I'm thinking, 'HEY, that's BERNARD HERRMANN!' 'Where's Jimmy Stewart, where's Kim Novak?'.
Aside from it being wrong to take other peoples art this was a really poor choice for the movie.
Other than that it's a good film. A little long in the third act, but well worth seeing.
