I still think this is one of Ridley’s best films to come out in the past ten years. A solid and engaging thriller with excellent performances, led by Christopher Plummer and Michelle Williams, who I still feel got snubbed at the Oscars when this film was running the circuit. I still remember reading about the reshoot of this movie when I was in high school and thinking about how insane it was that it would only take a month. Christopher Plummer’s work definitely deserved his Oscar nomination. And obviously, only someone like Ridley Scott could have pulled off such an insane directorial challenge.
