[8/10 · 2 May 2006]

I personally did not have to much expectations to this one. Thought it would be just like number 1 and 2. But I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it at a press viewing in Oslo today. The film is actually really good. The story stronger than before, and they play nicely on feelings this time.

There is also plenty of action :) All in all i would give this 8 out of 10. I personally think there is some really good acting in this one. We have Philip Seymour Hoffman as the bad guy, perfect role for him. Others worth mentioning is Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I recently saw an other movie with him - Match Point - and I must say like this actor.

Tom Cruise is very mainstream as always. But I think this has got be one of his better roles the last years. I did not think he preformed well in for example War of the Worlds. But in this one here he does a much better job :)

So run to the cinemas and see it :)

i'm a personal fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's movies. he's a genius.one of his last films, Amelie is one of my all time favorites. being a photographer myself i really enjoy the crisp picture trough-out the movies of this director. the use of composition (ofte wide angel) is simply beautiful. truly a piece of art.

this movie is a cute and heartbreaking story about two childhood friends who become in love. just as they are planning to be married the man is sent to the front (world war 1) after some time he's reported missing in action. as everybody else seems to have given up hope, Mathilde (main character) tries to sort out all the threads of the events that have happened.. because she believes that her loved one is still alive.

during her journey there is quite a lot of surprises.. and this will keep you suspended to the very last minute. this film has it all.. love, war, hope and happiness.

yet another brilliant movie from this director! i would highly recommend it to anyone :) Torbjoern Oslo, Norway
