    It was okay.

    Very well done.. and makes me like Kate Beckinsale a bit more than I did before.. (I didn't NOT like her before, but.. was more ambivalent) I loved the way the plot was layered in.. I've always loved scenes of art restoration as well.. and for once in an already interesting...( read more) movie.. a real woman for once.. (Not going to elaborate on it.. if you notice, you know what I mean.. if not.. your loss) I love her in this.. she's gorgeous..


    Oh.. and dare I point out.. METHOS!.. lol.. sorry, I was a highlander fan.. and my favorites were always Methos and Amanda.. so seeing Peter Wingfield in this was unexpected..
