don not let the rating of 5 . 9 ( a of this write on 12 8 02 ) fool you and this be one excellent film . i can not fathom how this get such a rating consider be so solid at all level . the direction and acting and cinematography all good . the story be interesting and original and my only inkling as far a understanding why the rating be such and sits in the fact that it be probably the type of movie that people rating might not normally see . i equate it to play modern rock for an 80 year old . you might be young and bring up on it and love it and but he or she have not be and a a product of a different time and taste doesn not care for it . if you like film and can handle movie base more on real people versus those comprise of mindless action and enormous flashy budget and mediocre talent and give this one a try next time you see it on .
