One of the best I've ever seen. Excellent moral conflict.
21 March 2000 | by See all my reviews

I was shocked to see the viewers at rated this as 6.6 or something. If this is a 6, Gone With the Wind is a 4. A moral conflict that all should be able to identify with. Edward plays the role beautifully, he makes the call or rather has someone else make the call to preserve the status quo but it does anything but that. Anyone else playing the lead it might have been a lesser movie.

I was disappointed that it was not on the best 100 movies list in last years pole.
