David A 04/06/2010 A distinctive atmosphere, good acting, an interesting plot combine to make this movie worthy of its reputation. It tends to leave one feeling like having been beaten with the big satire stick however. Print-wise- surprisingly good sound quality but visually in need of some work. See more Read all reviews
