    Thought provoking

    Now if you were expecting a rip roaring ride here I would think again. This is a an intelligent thriller/drama that delivers on the premise suggested. Damon is ever reliable, Jolie a tad underused, but some stellar support lends weight.

    Overall one for those that want to immerse themselves.

But, unfortunately, it just didn't happen, so I don't even know the ending, it just didn't keep me interested enough - Shame!

    In terms of ambition and risk, David Fincher’s grand and peculiar 166 minute movie dwarfs everything else around right now. It’s garnered 13 Academy Award nominations and broken the $100 million mark at the North American box office, but none of that makes it any less odd. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s slim novella presents enormous difficulties to the filmmaker. It is the story of a man born into a wizened and infirm body who gets younger as he ages. At ten he has the physique of a... Read more
