I like this film more now than I did while watching it. I kept thinking it was good now but was bound to go down hill suddenly. This took from my enjoyment of it at the time but has added to the respect I have for the film now. I think Tommy Lee Jones is the same in everything and to give him an Oscar nomination for this was a joke. Daniel Craigg was much better in Casino Royale but that's the politics of the Oscars. Thought Susan Sarandon was wasted and Charlize Theron was mis-cast. Still a good film though! ;) Charlize Theron has a point but 99% of film like this are awful so people don't flock to them. She should keep her frustrations under wraps as it's not helping anyone - especially not the film - and films like these tend to find their audience given time. Good review!

I think Tommy Lee Jones is the same in everything and to give him an Oscar nomination for this was a joke. Daniel Craigg was much better in Casino Royale but that’s the politics of the Oscars. Thought Susan Sarandon was wasted and Charlize Theron was mis-cast.

Still a good film though! ;)
