finally and now here be a movie where everybody seem to agree on the same verdict . it be a very rare occasion that most of the major critic and the academy and myself all agree on the judgment of the quality of a motion picture . this only go to say that this film really have to be good . it also go to show that the best movie be almost always base on true story . truth always trumps fiction . this movie be very well direct and well film and but above all it be well act . both crowe and pacino deliver memorable and believable performance and create character for which we can feel for and with whom we can identify . i agree on most of the oscar nomination and but i also feel that maybe an oscar be warrant for best screenplay which be probably the best part of this motion picture . thumb up .
