Entertaining and action packed!
2 May 2007
I hadn't heard anything about this film when I first saw the trailer for it. That may not seem particularly weird normally but I generally know, via internet sites/film magazines, well in advance if there is a film due out soon that would appeal to me. The second I saw the trailer I knew I would watch the film and also felt pretty certain that I would enjoy it.

Thankfully, this was one of those films that didn't disappoint! I expected an action packed, slightly mind bending film and that is precisely what this film is. I am a big fan of Nicholas Cage (I never watched Wicker Man and am not sure if I should) and Julianne Moore (who reprised a role similar to that in Hannibal) but normally not so enamoured with Jessica Biel; I must say though that her appearance in this film definitely showed me why she recently won sexiest woman alive. Plus, the fact that this is based on a Philip K. Dick story, of whom I am a huge fan, sealed the deal.

My only complaint really being that the trailer showed most of the best action scenes but it's always good to see some huge explosions and action sequences on the big screen!

Denial (II) (1998)

Fun!

Enjoyable, funny film that didn't drag! No really intricate plot or especially deep characters but there are times when you want to watch a film like that and other times when you want to just sit back and enjoy a film without having to really think about it or keep track of a complex storyline. That said - the film deals funnily with issues of trust, monogamy and, of course, sex.

Very funny performance by Jason Alexander - different character in many ways from Seinfeld's George - he has some of the best lines and the best laughs.

Overall - a fun little film
