This was a very thought provoking tear jerker. I thought the acting was excellent, the setting great and the story very real.

What keeps me coming back to this sweet and gallant movie is its soulfulness and honesty. The map of the human heart is ultimately universal and the characters in this story endeavor to draw their own lines to determine what defines friendship, family and honor.
I enjoyed this movie thoroughly.
Now this one is a remarkable little gem.
If you have a chance, make sure you see this film. It’s an excellent re-make, Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan give Academy Award caliber performances.
This movie is one of its kind, not to mention Pierce Brosnan who looks tailor made for this role.
It was wonderful – much better than the “original.” The characters were more interesting, the plot more interesting! The entire cast gives marvellous performances, Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan are wonderful, sexy, intelligent and never boring!

Forget McQueen, Dunaway and sexy chess, the remake’s much much better. First, Brosnan is more believable in a suit than McQueen; beneath his usual suave restraint, the Irishman capably suggests the inner turmoil of a self-made billionaire who has everything – and nothing… direction by McTiernan which combines precision technique with unexpected lyricism. First rate popular entertainment.
After watching a lot of movies this year, this was a breath of fresh air and different than everything else.
You really owe it to yourself to see this movie. It’s a wonderful, uplifting movie that shows the importance of family and friends.
