Really Really Good
2 December 2010 | by Carl (United Kingdom) – See all
my reviews
All I can say is... Big Wow. Boy did I enjoy this
film. The story-line is a cross between The Fugitive and a human heist plot
movie. There were moments where I genuinely really didn't know which way the
story would end. Has to be one of the best, if not the best film I've seen this
year.
I just had to watch right through to the end. The only
down side, were the roles of the 2 main cops. I'm not sure if 2 real cops would
be as persistent. But I guess if they weren't, then the film would be a fair
bit shorter.
I can't think of any other bad things about it, as it
does what it is supposed to do, make you care about the characters and keep you
gripped till the end. All in all very entertaining.
