The Seamstress told me I should watch this film. I fear it was talked up to me a bit too much, but then again, I did watch it whilst making dinner, so I was somewhat distracted for the first portion of it.
It seems a decent film. It didn't change my life or anything, but I did enjoy it. I must admit though, it didn't leave me with a great deal to say about it. The underdog-makes-good storyline is a safe bet to receive audience support.
Alan Rickman's presence elevates the film. Rachael Taylor, though I find her wonderful, her character isn't really there for any particular reason other than to foist irrelevant sexual tension on the tale.
I didn't really connect with it though, so I just... don't have much to say about it.
Final Thought: Perhaps I should have paid more attention to the first half of the film...
Up Next: The Bourne Identity (2002)
