I had never heard of this film before Film Club and i didn't expect it to be any good, but i couldn't have been more wrong. From beginning to end i was enthrawled in a tactical plot line filled with twists and turns. Although the storyline might not seem as exciting as others it really is magnificent. You can never predict what is going to happen next and by the end i was astonished by how clever the story really was as everything seemed to be linked in some way. As usual Morgan Freeman was portraying his talent with first class acting and the other actors are no different. By the end of this film i had laughed, cried, smiled and the hours had flown by. I would recommend this film to anyone. My only regret is that i didn't watch this film sooner.
