I have always loved western and since it is kind of a dead genre today I`m always looking forward when one comes up.
This is not oriented along the classical western but it has elements of the italo-style which I like. You could easily imagine Eastwood in the lead role 50 years ago. It´s basically a typical revenge story with a little twist but all the usual elements. Don´t bother reading the plot above because it´s all mixed up. It is probably not one for the casual viewer but if you are a fan of the genre I´d say you will enjoy it. I know I did.

Feels a little bit like a long commercial but the photography is still awesome, even spectacular at times. And if you´re interested in space exploration I`m sure you will like this as much as I did.

So ?
Volkswagen cheated with their engines - so do others, they just haven´t been caught. Yet !
Rolls Royce paid bribes to officials to secure contracts - so do others. Same as above.

I don´t say this is right but this is they way the worldwide industry is working for decades. And politicans close there eyes knowingly.
So where is the real scandal ???

I liked the first half more, taking the route of a detective story is an interesting view. But then it takes the touchy-feely cliché route those movies often do and the two halves don´t mix well.

Not a bad movie in general but the "epic Biblical story" feels rather small here.

For a TV production this was good. Should have made it a mini-series or at least a two-parter because it felt rushed at times and I would have liked a little more background.

Since I´m not from America I didn´t follow this in 2004. Did they screw up in their investigations ? Maybe, but does this mean they were wrong ? I´d rather have journalists asking questions with the risk of getting it wrong at times than the other way around.
As for the movie itself - if you like good quality movie making without green screen and CGI effects this is a movie to watch. As said before good performances and production in general is good.

Decent entertainment, nothing special. I was looking for Liam Neeson though.

Compared to the significance of the story in the historic context this movie feels rather small.

Wow, after the trailer I wasn´t sure if I should watch this but this was better than the last 5 Marvels (save Deadpool) combined. I was leaning towards giving it a 10 but there is one thing I really hated and that was the stupid monster. Why has it always to be a huge monster to fight ? Yeah, the title is misleading I agree with the comments on the fact there isn´t much of a fight going on between them. But should that be the movie´s biggest flaw I can live with it. Otherwise the dark atmosphere works great and without all those hero worshipping the characters get so much more depth. I hope they can follow that up because this made me want more.

I can accept a lot in a movie like this because I don´t expect the world out of it. A weak script, bad acting - no problem. But combine it with the crappy looking CGI and this fails.

It´s not much of a thriller but a very well executed drama. And as such it´s slow paced but it fits the plot very well. A young woman trying to find who she is and where she belongs. All the time I was wondering how this movie would end - it did in the only way it could also I never saw it coming that way. But since she never really knew anything else in her life it was the logical conclusion I think Saorsie is becoming one of the great actresses of our time.

So they did lame clip shows even back then.

It´s the same rubbish excuses why we need more surveilance and why we should embrace it. The truth is Government want it so it has better control, Corporation want it so to better manipulate consumers. That´s all there is to it. The so-called benefits are just sugarcoating.

That´s a hell of an episode for a 70s TV show.

It´s a sweet but predictable story without any real highs or lows. Something to watch with the children.

Personally I think Bay delivered one of his better movies here. After the latest Transformer crap I hadn´t hoped for much. But this is really good. I like the build-up and when the action starts it´s intense. Yet it´s not all out action, there are always slower parts mixed in. I didn´t expect that from Bay at all. Yes, he all but ignored the political side but that was to be expected and I won´t hold that against the movie. And if you complain about cliches watch "London has fallen" and talk to me again.

Don´t know the first one so I can´t compare. The movie lives from it´s unique style and the performance of the cast. If anyone would have made this a normal movie with the same story it is likely nobody would have cared.

I´m not a Burton fan by any means but I enjoyed this one. A dark comedy with a subtle sense of humor. Yes, the final 10 min or so are a bit of a letdown but the 100 before that are ok.

Yes, very intriguing topic but the movie just went too slow to have my undivided attention over the full length.

Takes a while to get in to but when the story unfolds it turns into an interesting movie.

I´ve had a tough decision to make with this movie. Up to now I´ve hadn´t finished a single Woody Allen movie and I´ve not even tried many. But I love Cate Blanchett. I made it through this one. Cate was awesome but I don´t want to even start another Woody Allen. Just not my thing.

It´s the same as with the banks - they knew what was going on and they couldn´t care less. Because they made money and lot´s of it.

Great movie, very much worth watching wether you´re a fan or not.

The idea to film this movie in the style of the 1940s greatly attributes to the atmosphere. Would I have not watched it on a BluRay in HD it might have been even better. But it is probably also what made this movie a bust at box office. Which is a shame because the story is solid, it fits well around the things going on right after the war which makes it more accessible and more believable. Acting is great, too.
I always had kind of a love/hate relationship with Soderbergh movies - this is on the better side.

It´s nothing new in terms of the story. A slow paced drama that beside great performances throughout the cast never really takes off.

Cate Blanchetts ability to convincingly perform every character she plays never seizes to amaze me.

But this movie in general is , again, much better than it´s rating. I really hope people are not put off by that because you might actually miss a good movie.

A relly good movie about a remarkable woman.

This isn´t the kind of thriller you expect after reading the plot. Yes, it starts out as one but it turns more into a love story. And it´has a very unique style, if I actually had seen more films of him I´d say a typical Tykwer style. It´s filmed really well and both, Blanchett and Ribisi, are great. But it´probably isn´t for anybody who is just looking for a movie to kill some time.
