Perfectly crafted

I saw this film twice at the cinema. It tells the immortal story of Akbar, the greatest Mughul Emporer, as well as the circumstances surrounding his meeting, marriage and early life with his new Hindu wife, Jodhaa. The two protagonists do stirling work of portraying their characters and have great chemistry - something that is absolutely needed in a film such as this. It left me with such good feelings after seeing it I will be looking to buy the DVD when released. The only downside of the DVD that could seriously make me rethink my purchase is the running time. It is advertised as 120 minutes on Amazon. At the cinema, the film was three and a half hours (210 minutes)long. This may seem a long time to some but it flew by and every part of the film was needed to the proper flow, pacing and development of the story. I sincerely dread to think where they have made the cuts which is nearly an hour lost. Too much for a film of this calibre which really should be released on DVD at the same running time as in the cinema.

Finally (:

I've been waiting ages for this to be released for the UK, and now it has! I, like many others, had some reservations about the dub, because most aren't that good, but this IS the best dub i've ever heard. Alessandro Juliani's voice is amazing and so well suited for L. This is the best anime series ever created, and L FTW! :D

Very Happy

I was waited a long for this moment.good cinema always demand good print.we enjoy Apu Trilogy again & again also because of the good print.thanks to Artificial Eye for the iniciative.vol 1 have three great film of Ray-Mohanogor,Charulota & Nayok,vol 2 also have great film like Kapurush.may be we will have Days & Night in the Forest or Zoo or Kanchonjangha someday...Ray is one of the great director of World & greatest from Bengal( Bangladesh & West Bengal)..now we are going to have his film in a good print.as a film lover-Bangali I'm feeling proud & very happy!

now this is where it kicks off

any fan of naruto should anticipate getting this dvd and the seris second parter, this is the seris with the awesome conclusion to the chuunin exams and the 'destroy the leaf' incident, i believe it (the whole of seris 3) goes up to episode 78, which is the very begining of the anime's jinchuuriki fight but before that it contains greats such as the slightly bewildering Neji-Naruto fight, the clever shikamaru-temari fight and the titan battle between the third hokage and his former pupil Orochimaru.

none of these are fights to be missed and neither is naruto's training for the fourth part of the chuunin exams.

so i say buy, you wont regret it, even if you're just an anime fan whos thinking about it, it's basically dragonball z with a less repetative story line and a hell of a lot more seriousness (which i don't think is a word).

btw, you may be wondering why i'm so exited about it, and yet i've only given it 4 stars, well, thats because i've seen the fourth seris like so many others and i know that is five stars.

A masterful, creepy thriller; not for those with heart conditions

The story goes that a fellow told Alfred Hitchcock that after his daughter saw Psycho she refused to take a shower and that after she saw Diabolique she refused to get in a bathtub. Well, Hitchcock said, send her to the dry cleaners.

Diabolique is one of the most masterful scary movies you could hope to see. Even after 50 years, when the twist is probably well known, the movie is so well crafted and so well acted that it still carries me along. It takes place in a second-rate French boarding school for boys run by a sneering brute named Michel Delasalle (Paul Meurisse). His wife, Christine Delasalle (Vera Clouzot), who actually has the money in the family, is a weak woman with a bad heart, whom he abuses and humiliates. He openly has taken as a mistress a teacher in the school, Nicole Horner (Simone Signoret), whom he has smacked around one too many times. Christine and Nicole hatch a plan to lure Delasalle to Nicole's house some distance from the school. There, they will drug and drown him, then carry him back to the school and pitch his body into the unused, scum covered water of the school's swimming pool. When the body is discovered, it will be called a suicide or an accident. The two women pull it off...but when the pool is drained, there is no body. Then the suit Delasalle was wearing is delivered to the school by a laundry. A student is given a penalty and says it was the headmaster. A Delasalle appears to have registered at a local hotel. The two women don't know what is happening, and the strain begins to tell on them. They begin to bicker and blame each other. Nicole leaves the school. Christine must stay, but she is showing signs of emotional and physical collapse. Then the plot really begins.

So many elements, for me, really work. Everything in the film looks tawdry and worn. The swimming pool water is filthy and covered with slime. Every now and then small bubbles break the surface. The photography (and the film is shot in black and white) feature deep shadows, dark nights, candles. A shoe will appear, half hidden; a doorknob slowly turns; a bathtub looks like it could use a scrubbing. And there is no background music to speak of, just the quiet sounds of things moving and breathing. At the same time, the activities of the boys in the school are well developed and we come to recognize several of them. They bring us back a bit from the sense of something terrible happening, then we slip back into the movie.

Clouzot, in my opinion, has done a terrific job of building a sense of dread, but at the same time keeping us off balance by disguising what may be happening. Even though the"secret" of the plot is by now well known, Clouzot's craftsmanship keeps us (or at least me) watching. He spends whatever time he needs to build a scene or create an atmosphere. Watch how the serving of fish at the start of the movie is used to create whole stories about the school, the life of the boys, the situation of the teachers, and the characters of Michel Delasalle and his wife. Watch how Clouzot builds a creepy sense of dread when Christine goes to the morgue to identify what she thinks may be her husband's body. The sequence takes us from Christine trying to establish why she thinks the body is her husband's to the two attendants taking a cheap wooden casket from the basement of the morgue to the viewing room. At some point we realize that we are getting nervous ourselves about what might be in that box.

The end of the movie, when it was released initially in the United States, had people leaping three feet off their seats. That probably won't happen now to a new viewer, but the movie remains, in my opinion, a very fine piece of work.

The Mizoguchi Masters - so far so good

Mizoguchi is the favourite director of many a"cineaste" - that his films are being put out on dvd by the avowedly cineaste Masters of Cinema label is a dream come true. So far the series is more than living up to expectations.
The format is brilliant - each release contains one classic and one lesser known related film, rather like a main feature and a supporting feature. This is a great (& affordable) way of quickly releasing a representative cross-section of Mizo films. As well as the 2 discs, each release has wonderful packaging & very substantial booklets with lots of photographs, original poster art, essays & translations of the Japanese literary source materials.
The only (minor) criticism I have is of Tony Rayns' short filmed introductions. While I normally respect Mr Rayns, here he merely recounts second-hand gossip about Mizoguchi & film company politics, virtually dismissing the films themselves as hack-work. I'm all for demystification but this is ridiculous!
What about the films? They are all black & white, postwar (40s & 50s). SANSHO & UGETSU are feudal period films, stunningly shot & overwhelming emotional roller-coaster rides. Both are extremely haunting - literally so in the case of UGETSU with its strange supernatural & ghostly elements. Both films are both regularly listed on"greatest films of all time" lists & probably need no introduction. The other main feature CHIKAMATSU MONOGATARI is a bit erratic in tone but still excellent. It's another period film, telling of doomed adulterous lovers on the run who transgress every social code of the time.
I hadn't seen the three"supporting" films before but they turn out to be interesting if uneven. Mizoguchi's most popular films (in the West) are"classical" Japanese period films while his less popular films have modern (C20th) settings. GION BAYASHI and UWASA NO ONNA are both sharp melodramas set in the modern Geisha world of Kyoto and explore the tribulations & sacrifices of the women and the thin line between Geisha and prostitute. UWASA is a particularly striking film with great performances from the actresses & stands comparison with the recently released Naruse films. Arguably these 2 films work better on dvd / small screen whereas SANSHO & UGETSU lose some of their impact away from the cinema. The third supporting film OYU-SAMA is a real melodrama with a storyline that may be of limited appeal. It has some very good scenes & some awkward/dated ones. It is modern but has some evocative"traditional" Japanese scenes and its strange story of a tangled three way obsessional repressed relationship will give Freudians a field day.
Three releases, six films - highly recommended.
Let's start praying that Masters of Cinema get to release epics like Late Chrysanthemums & 49 Ronin and maybe even some of Mizoguchi's incredible 1930s films...

I'm a soul reaper

Ichigo Kurosaki is just your average teenage boy... except that he can see spirits.

So it's not exactly surprising that he gets involved in wild, dangerous adventures, in the first season of the hilarious, action-packed"Bleach." It starts off a bit slow, but rapidly winds into a thrilling, expansive adventure story, with lots of big swords, roaring monsters, and TV psychics.

One night a strange girl appears in Ichigo's bedroom, and is shocked when he can see her. She explains that she's a Soul Reaper, who helps the dead pass on to the Soul Society, and destroys evil spirits called Hollows.

But when Rukia is injured in a fight with a Hollow, all her powers are transferred to Ichigo -- and with them, the responsibility of killing Hollows. Ichigo soon finds out that it isn't easy juggling his new responsibilities with his normal, everyday life -- especially since the powerless Rukia is now attending his school, and living in his closet.

Even more distressing, his new powers are attracting all sorts of trouble: the Hollow who murdered his mother, the now-monstrous brother of his ditzy friend Orihime, an outspoken"mod-soul," and classmate Uryu-- the last of the Quincys, sworn enemies of Soul Reapers. Moreover, Orihime and the gentle giant Chad start developing spiritual powers of their own.

But then two powerful Soul Reapers show up to arrest Rukia. Ichigo is left mortally wounded and robbed of his powers, while Rukia is taken back to the Soul Society to be executed. To rescue Rukia, Ichigo agrees to undergo a terribly training regimen that could leave him worse than dead... and the journey into the Soul Society may be even worse...

Most long-running series run out their welcome pretty quickly, or start following a formula. But"Bleach" has that magical mix of complex plot, kinetic action, likable characters and kooky comedy. Not only does it click, but the results are sort of a mad hybrid of"Yu Yu Hakusho" and"Inuyasha." Its biggest problem? The first season ends with a cliffhanger the size of the Grand Canyon.

To keep us entertained, there's lots of action, monsters, blood, giant magical swords, spirit arrows and even a skyscraper-sized Hollow. But the writers keep an eye on the characters, and the first arc is used to establish them -- we get to see their pasts, their motivations, and why they want to fight Hollows. Even if it's simply a desire to do what's right and protect others.

And just as important important -- comedy. Every episode of"Bleach" has some comedy, whether it's crazy friends and/or relatives, TV appearances, or the wacky dialogue ("OH NO! I'M FRIENDS WITH A NERD! Maybe you need some thick nerd glasses..."). Even Ichigo produces some hilarious moments, such as his bloodcurdling scream when he wakes in Urahara's house.

Ichigo himself is the pivot of the whole series -- like many a good anime hero, he is rough, brash, sensitive and fights for those he loves. And though he's incredibly powerful, he still has a lot of training, fighting and learning to do, though he tends to jump in without thinking about it.

And he's backed by a colourful squad of characters: the prickly Uryu, quiet Chad, ditzy love interest Orihime, and the mysterious"Mr. Hat and Clogs" who trains Ichigo to be a full-fledged Soul Reaper. Not to mention Kon, a living lion doll who provides plenty of comic relief, whether he's getting bounced around the room or dressed as Marie Antoinette.

"Bleach's" first season introduces viewers to a brilliant series, full of hilarity, tears, blood and big, bad monsters. Definitely a must-see, for anyone who likes any of the above.

Sobering trip into obsession, jealousy and manipulation

Better known these days as the partner of American actor Johnny Depp, the incredibly beautiful French actress/singer/model Vanessa Paradis had a successful career of her own in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
Skyrocketing to fame with her debut album"M&J" in 1987 at the age of 14, I was transfixed by her beauty and smoldering demeanor as she performed her first hit single"Joe Le Taxi" on the (now-defunct) British pop show"The Roxy" (think American Bandstand, but with a 1980s cool). I asked a French pen-pal of mine to collect all articles she could find on Paradis and she obliged and it was from one of these French clippings that I learned .that Paradis had been signed to appear in the movie"Noce Blanche" (a.k.a. White Wedding).
I hoped and hoped that the movie would be released in my native United Kingdom and never saw it advertised or arrive at any of my local theaters. Perhaps I had misunderstood the French clipping, perhaps the movie had not been completed? It was a couple of years later that I learned that not only had Paradis completed the movie, but she had a very lucrative career overseas as an actress. Appearing in such movies as"Une Chance Sur Deaux" (a.k.a. Half a Chance),"Elisa" and"Un amour de sorcière" all the while continuing her music career with the awesome album"Bliss."
In recent years I have managed to track down DVDs of her live concert performance"Au Zenith" as well as DVDs of the excellent thriller"Une Chance Sur Deaux" and enjoyable"Un amour de sorcière." Yet,"Noce Blanche" has so far evaded me. Until now.
Of course the DVD has been available in France for sometime, but only with its original French track, and no subtitles. Now, my French is fine, but I wanted to be able to watch this movie with my American (non-French-speaking) friends without having to provide a running translation, so I was very pleased to see a version with subtitles listed on Amazon UK.
So, armed with a region-free DVD player I ordered my copy and was not disappointed. Released in 1989 Paradis plays a parent-less, troubled, moody, but very smart 17-year-old student Mathilde Tessier who rarely shows up for class. The haggard 49-year-old philosophy professor François Hainaut (played by Bruno Cremer) takes an interest in her and resolves to tutor her.
Finally, and inevitably the two embark on an affair (understandably François is unable to resist Mathilde) and go to great lengths to keep it a secret from both François' wife and the school. Some may find it unrealistic that Mathilde would fall for François, but in the teacher she finds someone who cares for her and is willing to help her. Finally François decides to stay with his wife, much to the chagrin of Mathilde. The movie examines a range of emotions from anger, jealousy and love, and it is expertly scripted and directed by Jean-Claude Brisseau with incredible performances from both Paradis and Cremer all accompanied by a beautiful and at times haunting score.
Now, it may sound like a French version of"Fatal Attraction" but I will take"Noce Blanche" anyday. Not just because of the presence of Paradis, but the dour manner in which the proceedings are undertaken, and the incredible cinematography that include the shot of daylight streaming in over Paradis' body that was so provocative and memorable that it was the cover shot for the U.S. VHS release.
Of course there is a lot of nudity and the sight of a topless Vanessa Paradis makes this a worthwhile purchase anyway but Paradis really enlivens the film and turns in an impressive performance.
Recommended.

Reno and Clavier in Decent Form

Both French Box Office smash hits, Les Visiteurs has a medieval knight Reno and his valet Clavier travelling back in time to undo Reno's accidental slaying of his prospective father in law only to find themselves transported to the 20th century where they meet their great great.....you get the idea and the usual assortment of slapstick moments that fish out of water experience duly follow.
Les Visiteurs 2 is pretty much the same but with more plot(too much if you ask me)and pretty much the same gags albeit with a funny ending that sets up a third instalment(never made).
Clavier co wrote with director Poire and while both films are extremely good natured the french have a problem with broad comedy(they can't really do it- Clavier spends most of the time just shouting and pulling faces).
Reno is well cast and the 12th century stuff is oddly stirring and Dumasesque with bizarre characterisations that work but the 20th century is too strained and save for the odd sight gag falls a little flat.
French"Carry on" without Sid James and Charles Hawtrey to give it some pep.

Breathtaking

In every sense of the world, Ismael Ferroukhi's Le Grand Voyage, is breathtaking. The film follows father and son, Mohamed Majd and Nicolas Cazale, on what Majd believes is his last opportunity to fulfil his Hajj. Cazale doesn't want to go, he enjoys his life in suburban Paris with his girlfriend, has little to no interest in his religion and speaks no Arabic. His father meanwhile is devout, and speaks only Morrocan Arabic, little French. The journey, taken by car as the father believes that aside from walking or cycling, which he is too old for, brings him closer to God, is necessary beacuse he cannot drive and Cazale is the only member of his family free to take him.

It starts out as a painfully awkward roadtrip through beautiful European scenery but eventually, inevitably, the two begin to bond and by the end of the film you will be left speechless if you have any heart whatsoever.
I am not Islamic and neither are my family but watching this film became almost a spiritual journey for me as well.

Incredible.

Astounding Czech Cinema

Set in 13th century, a small group of characters are caught up in the violent feud between two neighbouring clans, two rival warlords. A young woman, Marketa, negotiates the morality of this brutal yet sensual medieval world.
Apparently Marketa Lazarova is generally agreed to be the best ever Czech film - in Czechoslovakia that is. Outside Czechoslovakia both film & director fell into neglect. To be honest I hadn't heard of this film until recently. Indeed to non-Czechs it is a perplexing film - it purports to be an"authentic" depiction of the middle ages but is not based on authentic folk tales but on an experimental modernist novel from 1930s, and the film itself was not really part of Czech new wave and yet is an extreme example of 1960s European art house style: strange camera angles, elaborate tracking shots, freeze frames, rapid cut editing etc. The narrative is very fragmented, more or less a series of random episodes containing scenes which move back & forth in time. The director was a disciple of Eisenstein & the"poetic" montage of both image and sound is incredibly complex. I had difficulty following the film and at nearly 3 hours it sometimes got a bit wearying on first viewing - I couldn't help but think I should be watching it on a really big screen in a cinema.
Nonetheless, the film does undoubtedly have an impact even on DVD - films like this simply aren't made anymore - & I've ended up watching it several times already. The cinematography is unbelievable & there are numerous extraordinary scenes - the various scenes with wolves are particularly memorable. I suppose the film belongs to that"middle ages genre" popularised by Bergman (Seventh Seal, Virgin Spring) and the Japanese (Rashomon, Sansho), but the most useful comparison I could make to anyone reading this would be with Andrei Rubliev - if you liked Tarkovsky's film you really ought to see this.
Yet another revelatory East European classic from Second Run DVD. Informative essay by Peter Hames included in booklet.

A human soul in fear of death

The rat-toothed Nosferatu and the charming Transylvanian Count are the best known examples of early vampire movies, mostly because there weren't very many others at the time.

But more often than not,"Vampyr" gets passed over when you talk about early vampire movies -- and that's a shame. Carl Th. Dreyer's masterpiece (loosely based on the works of J. Sheridan Le Fanu) is a straightforward little story wrapped in a hazy cocoon of dreamlike imagery and haunting direction. From the very beginning, this movie clings to you like a spiderweb.

Occult student Allan Gray is staying at a hotel in the French countryside. But after being woken by a strange old man's cryptic warning, he finds that the inn is swarming with eerie supernatural happenings, including shadows that move independently. After he departs, a strange old man lets an ancient crone out of a closet.

And when Allan arrives at a nearby chateau, he finds that the owner has been murdered, and his daughter Leone is suffering from mysterious wounds. After the girl is rescued from a strange old crone, she begins acting predatory toward her sister Gisele -- and the weird old doctor says that only a transfusion will save her. But the doctor is in league with the vampire -- and is working to destroy Leone...

"Vampyr" has a pretty simple storyline, loosely based on a couple of J. Sheridan Le Fanu's short stories (including the classic"Carmilla"). But it's not the plot that makes this movie a classic -- it's the powerful, ghostly visuals that permeate it. And the beautiful real-life settings (the inn, chateau and church) don't hurt the atmosphere of it all.

In many ways,"Vampyr" is like a silent movie -- the characters are quiet, text cards intersperse the scenes, and several minutes are taken up by printed text from the"History of Vampires" book. In addition to this, the visuals are so powerful that it's almost a shock when one of the characters actually speaks out loud. Even then, nobody says anything unless it's actually necessary.

Dreyer films this movie as if it were a choreographed dream, letting the camera drift through ornate rooms and hazy hills. And he often fixed on striking images -- pale feverish faces, still windvanes, cloudy skies, scythes, and the movement of shadows on walls and the ground. And there are some spectacularly creepy moments, such as when Leone starts baring her teeth gleefully at Gisele, or Allan watching the view from inside a coffin.

And he steeps the entire movie in dreamlike effects -- hazy countrysides, skeletons, floating girls, and shadows that can dance and move independently. These strange effects are done almost effortlessly, adding to the feeling that you're surrounded by the unreal. Dreyer even puts a note of humor in from time to time, such as the dancing shadows with their little folk band.

Julian West (aka Nicolas de Gunzburg) does a pretty solid job as our unflappable hero, although I question how his suit remains pristine all through the movie -- and he does a glorious job in that bizarre dream sequence. Sybille Schmitz has a small part, but is wonderfully feral as she starts to turn vampiric, and Henriette Gérard is unspeakably creepy as the ancient, stone-faced vampire who wants other people to suffer as well.

Criterion is apparently giving"Vampyr" the treatment it sorely needs, cleaning up the prints in an effort to restore the clarity. It's also got new subtitles, loads of information about Dreyer, his filmmaking and the creation of"Vampyr," articles about it, the screenplay and one of Le Fanu's short stories. Nice to see this underrated little movie is getting the attention is deserves.

Carl Th. Dreyer's"Vampyr" is a rarity among vampire movies -- all haunting images and ghostly, subtle horror, with excellent acting and exquisite directions. It's a cinematic classic that should not be overlooked.

An overly americanised release of a truly classic animé

Robotech the macross saga was originally titled"macross" overseas,
but as per usual an american company took over the reigns of the
western release, changed the characters names, situations and the
main plot of the show to create the first installment of the Robotech
saga.

This was subsequently done with two other stand alone anime called
"southern cross" (The masters) and"mospoeada" (The New Generation) which
make up the rest of the Robotech saga.

The main reason for this was because a well know toy company had already
released a range of transforming toys under the title of robotech, so
obviously when the toy company caught wind of a TV series following the
same themes, they bought up the distribution rights for the series
(Macross)and also the other works by the same team (SC and Mospoeada)
edited them together and pretty much created one large scale advertisement.

But it really isnt all that bad, Although the three anime were in a way
butchered to make Robotech it is still a very good, if not great series.
But if like me you're a fan of the original versions then you may find
the new additions to the dubbing and credits incredibly american,
for example each episode is narrated in the first and last 3mins and at
key junctures by a cliché american voice actor, spouting phrases like
"STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT AAMAAZZZINGGG EPISODE OF ROBOTECH!".

These issues aside Robotech still contains most of what made it great
to watch in the first place, Furious space battles and a involving,and
incrediby deep(at times) plot.

Mainly centered around a small cast of characters thrown into increasingly
desperate situations each episode of robotech follows a simple formula
of drama, action and humour which never completely overwhelms you and
always keeps you gripped waiting for the"NEXT EXCITING DEVELOPMENT IN THE
ROBOTECH SAGA".

Onto the animation,

The actual animation in robotech varies depending on which series youre
watching,

The macross saga's animation is detailed and very gritty closer to a
tech noir style, whereas the last two parts of the saga take a bit of
a drop in quality (mainly due to the fact of being small budget series
and because of the editing I mentioned at the begining of this review)
Nevertheless it never drops to the low quality seen in such anime as
M.D geist which are from a similar period.

The actual release quality is not to great, as with most manga releases
they have only really remastered the sound and only removed a minimal amount
of interference that was on the vhs masters meaning at times that some
episodes can have a below dvd quality picture.
Furthermore there is little in the way of special features on
any of the disks, mainly consisting of trailers that include mangas
up and coming releases.

Editing and release shortcomings aside, Robotech is every bit of a landmark
anime as akira, if you havent seen it in its original incarnations as
"Macross","southern cross" and"mospoeada" then you will probably
find it one of the most original and brilliant anime ever to grace your
television.

A must buy for any Otaku or even a first timer looking to sink their fangs
into the anime medium.

I give it 4 stars on the plot alone, because thats all that matters in the end.

Naruto is the best

I am amazed at this feature film. The anime effects are amazing. The story is full of Naruto trademarks & hi jinks I would recommend this to any anime fan.

Death Note" will really become a classic!!

I have just seen this at the ICA in London. It's the live-action version of the TV anime series, DEATH NOTE. They are both relatively similar, though the plot lines have been moved around a bit and a girlfriend was created for the main character, Light. In the anime and manga, there was no girlfriend and so my purist daughter complained loudly when she appeared in the film. However, I advise you to relax and give the film a chance--I actually LOVED what they did with the lady in the film. Early on, she's about as superfluous as a vestigial tail, but later she becomes an important part of the plot--you'll see. But as for the rest of the film, it is true to the original--Light is an evil piggie and L looks and acts much like a cockroach (like in the anime).

As for the story itself, it's a pretty hard film to describe for Western audiences. If you are already an anime/manga freak, then you probably will not be scared away by the odd plot line and story elements about the supernatural. However, for the uninitiated, please try to suspend judgment--the film can be enjoyed by anyone--not just anime/manga fans. I am much more of a casual fan of the genre and enjoyed the film immensely. My wife generally hates anime and loved the film. And, my insane"sold my soul to anime" teen loved the film as well. In light of this, I really think this live-action film is good entertainment for all and I can hardly wait to see the sequel that according to many is even better then the original. It is said that the sequel ends differently then the Manga version and that it is surprising and shocking all together. Believe me"Death Note" will really become a classic!!

Haunting and beautiful drama - a real discovery!

A beautiful and quietly devastating tale from one of India's most renowned filmmakers.
Congratulations - again - to Second Run for making these unknown gems available for us. This is a real discovery!

Love it

Great film, with lots of free running sequences.
I thought it was gonna be one of those films that had a really bad story but lots of action, but i was wrong, the story is great and i wouldnt change anything.

Some complained about it being dubbed in English, but i actually think Leito suits the irish accent (although the cop could probably use a better English accent)
