Pretty brutal movie at times, but man is it ever well made and acted. I'm not normally a Nicolas Cage fan but he did a very good job in this movie. One of these days I'm going to get around to watching Hotel Rwanda, Blood Diamond, and Lord of War all in a row and see how I feel afterwards.
Wasn't overly impressed with this movie, however it really wasn't THAT bad, in fact I thought the acting from everyone in it was above what I had expected. My only real complaint was the shortness of the film, however I got it for free from the library so I guess I can't really complain too much. I think some movies are getting arbitrarily longer, but then there are some movies that do the bare minimum of 90 minutes. Every so often it's nice to not have to sit through 2 - 2 1/2 hours of movie.
