i be not say the acting be perfect and i be not try to say the story be tell in the most professional way or all by rule of film making . it wasn not at all an up tempo film hollywood style with lot of explosion and rapid smart dialog . but and somehow and unlike most film with few exception and it have the capability of put you in a certain mood . a mood of inconvenience and because you become one with the character john murdoch and mostly thanks to sewell act . maybe it because when i have see this movie and it always way past midnight and but i guess it part of the ultimate experience from it . the thing be i have only felt this way about a movie once before and and unfortunately and i can not remember the title of that movie and only that it end with a picture of an ocean and and an alone man on the beach and leave u never know if he would ever meet his girl again or not . i love when a picture put that enormous hill of emotion in your heart and and just a many question in your head . that feeling and that mood . most of the actor have receive bad review for this movie and not least on this forum . but in my opinion and rufus sewell be do his part very well . first so uncertain and then slowly grow into his role . keither sutherland and in a pretty uncomfortable role a a scared and weak doctor do it surprisingly good . william hurt be hard and scarred and but soft on the inside . i guess the actor be tell more about their part than the script itself . generally and all the actor seem to have capture this feeling and this sense and that color all throughout the picture and make the picture . you be not watch it . you be in it . you be john murdoch . i would like to end with a quotejohn murdoch represent when be the last time you remember do something during the day . it sort of reveals the touch of it . if you haven not see it and see it and in the middle of the night . if you have see it daytime and see it again at nighttime . not because youre tire and but because it dark .
