Review

good film. i especially liked the gritty and shocking action scenes, which were visceral and about as good as the urban warfare scenes in blackhawk down. there’s a lot to say about the film, so i’ll take the easy way out and only mention them: value of life, odyssey film, shoeless hero (like die hard), the ending (one of only two suitable endings) was like the one in sayles’ “limbo,” caine’s solid performance, good soundtrack. my one real problem with it was that, considering the theme, i found it a poor choice to use cgi effects to create the baby.
