Excellent film. I loved the whole tense, uneasy atmosphere in the film and the eerie feeling of mystery and suspense. The acting was really good as well without having to resort to being dramatic and over the top, the more realistic approach made the film seem gritty and all the more real.

The last half was certainly better than the first but it's getting kinda tiring seeing Nic Cage gurning through a movie although he did have some great lines and it does have a couple of scenes 2nd cousin twice removed from the Abel Ferrara movie of the same name. The ending however sucked and I really hope it was a cynical pastiche of Hollywood's predeliction for mawkish sentimentality but I really don't think it was. I have never even seen a Pierce Brosnan Bond movie and now I know why. It looks horribly dated already and whilst it was mildly diverting it was forgettable tosh. A Se7en rip off that does have some decent moments regarding cinematography and the soundtrack but I guessed the culprit before the end and it sort of caves in on itself after a relatively OK opening half hour.

Was unsure about this movie, even after hearing about the potential lesbian scene of my dreams... but then I saw Darren Aronofsky directred, and was intrigued. Requiem and Pi are both stunning, and The Wrestler is great in my book... how does his direction in Black Swan compare to these films? I'll see for myself this weekend, but curious in the mean time...

Game of Death actually I just found out that the director of Bad Lieutenant was working on game of death which I watched tonight but he ended up dropping out to work on another project. It was a pretty good watch though even at times you can tell they wanted to be a bit too artsy for being a b-movie action flick. It was great seeing Zoe Bell in another movie. Wesley Snipes is the lead actor in this one.
