Amazingly good

Now, I don't want anyone to get me wrong on this one... I've seen a lot of movies that are at least a few times better than this one. However, from the cast and director of the movie, I wouldn't have expected as much as I've seen. It's not really your "avarage" action movie, nor thriller... It is much more than that. If any of these titles ring any bells to you, I would say that the movie reminds me (in bits) of "Traffic" (2000), "Crash" (2004), I might even say some of the early works of Guy Ritchie. The movie is violent, but not exaggerated or overwhelmed by violence, it has enough drama for the hungry critics... In one word - good. I definitely would see it again in some time. The plot is not new, but it touches enough aspects of our everyday life so that you get a sense of reality that very few movies give you. I gave it an eight, but I was generous. If you don't mind a bit of blood and gore, if you like to spend an hour and a half away from dull reality - it's good entertainment.
