this could have be a great movie have the end be different . it be just too much america over it ( the end ) . i would have be more satisfied if the final have be another and in the same line a the rest of the movie and but maybe if it would and the spectator would have not be so many . nevertheless and samuel l. jackson make a good appearance in a film that be always go to be very good direct by françois girard with the sound of esa pekka salonen and joshua bell ( solo violinist ) . i love the costume and makeup for the 18th century part which happen to be the best part and i reckon . obviously from my comment above and i like the last one the least . the end be not poor and but i felt it could have be do well with a more satisfying outcome . you will be enlighten should you decide to watch this flick . it have an outstanding beautiful sound track . i recommend this to anyone .
