    Not what I was expecting... I guess I was expecting a movie that mimics the book. NOT. Another Hollywood butcher job.

  • Great movie!

    Awesome subtle performances that really deserve more attention. Thomas Newman's score drives the story and it really is a gem to be heard over and over.

  • Just awful.

    Not worth your time, unless you enjoy a predictable story of lives wasted by crime and death.

  • One of the best movies no one's ever heard about.

    Well directed, great cinematography, superb acting not only from Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, and Daniel Craig (who did an incredible 1930's Chicagoland accent despite being a Brit, but also the kid who plays his son, and a great score. This movie is a hidden gem.

  • Amazing!

    Another graphic novel turned into a big screen film….They should have stuck with the original ending for the story line, it had a far deeper meaning.

  • i have been waiting and waitng.

    This is by far one of the best movies created. The story line of good and evil...the fasntastic soundtrack (which i have had since the movie came out) makes the movie even better..Tremendous performances by Tom Hanks, Daniel Craig, Paul Newman and Jude Law...make up a all star cast.... Highly recommend this for any digital library.

  • Hey, it's here finally!

    This movie easily finds itself on my top tier list. Storyline, music, and acting was top-notch. The powerful insight it provides through its characters even match that of a great novel. Plus for those who are interested, the movie is actually based off of a graphic novel.
