8/10
80% Perfect
21 February 2008
First of all let me compliment the director, producers, screenplay writers, actors so on so forth, they all did a marvelous job at creating such a deviously intriguing storyline.

The relationship's between each character was phenomenon, their emotions were believable, everything they did suited them individually well. In the beginning of the film, it was sexy, and stylish, Bobby was ignorant to the most valuable things, although he is easily trained into thinking differently if things are at stake.

The realism was good, the director obviously has an eye for detail, as the small things really do make a film more artistic and original.

Throughout the movie, it slightly lacked some of the important things, such as the closeness between Bobby and Amada, even after special circumstances, I was disappointed to learn that Bobby was all for protecting his partner, however they didn't communicate well, therefor my sympathy for them as a couple dissolved slightly.

Of course if a viewer has the same expectations as The Departed you will be disappointed as it's more or less thriller/drama, rather than drama/action.

I was pretty annoyed at the ending, it didn't suit the characters very well, it felt rushed and completely ridiculous as well as unfinished.

Overall, I loved the cast and the characters they created, the story was captivating, it had a point to be made, and an obvious selection of people to satisfy.

At the end of the movie, I was very much satisfied, and gave this film an 8/10.
