I Loved this movie, 29 April 2008
9/10
Author: Dviitale-1 from Los Anges

A thinking man's psychological thriller, The Objective takes you on a journey that will chill you AND make you think. I saw this at Tribeca and it was a sell out with most of the audience staying for the intelligent Q and A, always a good sign.

The music too was very strong, as was the performances of all the actors involved.

If you're seeking a different movie, one that is original in story, tone and character, THE OBJECTIVE is a must see for you!

A fun film!

I say check it out big-time!
