I loved this film, and would probably say it's the best film I've seen from this year. Granted we're only in July so it isn't like the great movies are being released, but this one was fantastic, and unforutunately because of it's release date it probably has no Oscar prospects, with the possible exception of a screenplay nod. The film lingers in your mind, and I have a better recollection of scenes and characters from this movie than War of the Worlds, which I only saw a few days ago. In fact the more this film hangs in my memory the better it seems to get. I too have recommended this film to anyone looking to go to a movie, just wish some of them would take my advice.
