the best film I have ever seen, 16 January 1999
10/10
Author: kpb-2 from Ennis, Ireland

This is an absolute masterpiece. I have watched the film innumerable times and still enjoy, with the best and most unpredictable climaxes I have ever seen. This film starts off as a great film and just gets better and better.
