Gary Oldman is so scary but totally amazing in this! Actually big thumbs up all round to the whole cast!
Having now seen this on the big screen... my life is now complete! :D
i fuckin LOVE this movie! i love the pistols and i totally adore gary oldman who looks, sings and spits like the real thing! however, it's clear to see from this who would go on to be the greater respected of the two lead actors... half a star off for the sheer irritancy of chloe webb!
"Where do we begin?"
Words cannot possibly describe how much i love this movie.
As much as i had prepared myself to be let down after the incredible pressure that i put on it to live up to my expections (which were sky high) every second was a complete and utter masterclass of how movies should but rarely are done.
Ledger was outstanding and i hold my hands up in defeat as i was one of THOSE people who thought his casting was a mistake... How wrong i have been proved.
I couldn't get enough of this movie when it was in cinemas, saw it QUITE a few times, and the only thing that stopped me? They took it away from me! :(
Ed Norton is, as always, sublime and Tim Roth, just as fantastic.
Would i like this movie had it been a different cast? Perhaps... I'd imagine so. It's a great character driven story and you can't help but feel so sorry for Banner.
I'm incredibly eager to see the director's cut on DVD.
