Perfectly crafter , totally underrated
16 February 2008 | by (Egypt) – See all my reviews

I don't know why this movie is so underrated , actually this movie i consider one of the best movies in cinema history , it has great story , amazing plot , fine cast. The scenario is great , there are no cheesy phrases , you can actually see great passion and emotion strong as true, you find yourself wrapped up in the movie and wherever Cindy goes you find yourself in Rick's chair , I think the cast also did a great job conveying a message against hate and spite. In conclusion the movie as a whole is a masterpiece with all great elements of success and thats why such a movie deserves better rating and a wider range of reputation, i totally rate it 10/10
