A really good film with nice story.
Without a doubt the best performance that Brad Pitt has ever done.

What an amazing film. The atmosphere was terrific, it was so gothic and dark. I've never seen a film with an atmosphere like this one. The plot was riveting and the ending had a good twist.

January 7, 2007I love this film. It has to be one of the better films with bruce willis in it. My hat goes off to you Terry Giliam. I would love to find out what other films he has done. Make sure you watch it at least 2 times to grasp every little detail or maybe more if you have the time. Enjoy this film
