Brian's
Rating: A- :
People can be evil. Sometimes it is just flat
out sickening, and sometimes a movie does a good
job of portraying it. This movie accomplishes
that. It is amazing what people will do in the
name of orders to satisfy the greed of others.
It has a bunch of A-list actors in it, and it
shows. There was not much dialog, but even so
the picture tells much of the story. It
reminded me of Apocalypto in that regard, as
well as the similar setting in which it takes
place.
The sound track is wonderful if you like
classical score music. We even used one of the
songs in our wedding. Overlay the beautiful
minor key, haunting melody on some of the
scenes, and you instantly have a powerful
message.
