Not as great as everyone made it out to be but definitely an entertaining film. The fight scenes were excellent to say the least.
Overall, I felt the film to be too distant and disjoited to merit the acclaim that it recieved. Not to say that it felt rushed, but I felt a prevelence of "short term memory syndrome," whereby every scene oly builds up on the past in very obvious ways, failing to incite curioscity and imagination usually incited by purposefull confusion. Swank jsut won the figths too quickly, without merit, if I may say that. The build up of a warrior, the struggle, the agony, and the embarressment is what makes a true film. This film seemed to have attempted to break free from that truth with only limited success
Don't get me wrong, it was a good film, but it just felt too short, or rather, like it was holding something back...
Sort of like Shawshank without the sisters.
