All I can say is freaking awesome movie! Great acting from top to bottom. I would even say that Hugh Jackman's performance was worthy of an oscar nomination. Only downfall was 2.5 hour run time.

Great to hear. I'm really looking forward to this one. Jackman is my favorite actor right now.

Glad it was good. Wife and I almost saw an advance screening of it back in June. Was getting worried with the huge delay in it getting to the screen.

Just saw this on DVD and it was great. Some parts were like come on how did you not notice that and the end is not the tidy wrapped bow but it kept my interest the whole 2+ hours. Even the girlfriend liked it and that is a hard task to complete.

I would say its on the tier of Lucky Number Slevin in terms of twist thrillers.

Good movie - watched it last night.

Some parts were a bit slow, but overall B+

Yeah, this was intense. You never know what you're capable of until you're put in a situation like this. Solid acting, but Jackman's performance was especially awesome. I didn't even notice it was 2.5 hours.
