Ben Affleck has certainly laid righteous claim to his corner of the Director's sandbox with this formidable, suspenseful, complex, fast-paced story. It’s the best heist flick since “The Italian Job”. “Hurt Locker’s” Jeremy Remmer brings ferocity +10 on a scale of 1 to 10 to this well-acted and effective thriller. Remmer should receive a best male supporting actor nomination for his role in this flick. IMO a Best Picture nomination is also a possibility!
| Must be seen on big screen? | Yes | good story, great acting, possible best picture and best male supporting actor nominations |
| wait for DVD or rental? | No | I see no reason to wait; best picture this year to date save maybe for “Inception” |
| OK for your elementary school child? | No | violent; but not as bloody as I thought it would be |
| OK for your child 14 or under? | No | some scenes of explicit sexuality and potty mouth throughout |
| OK for Family movie night? | Yes | as long as willing to heed remarks above |
| Comments? | Overall probably best picture this year to date | |
