Yep, seen it last night myself and totally agree with what you said, i couldnt relax during the film expecting them, like you said, to get shot in the head or walk into some trap, it really had me on the edge of my seat, which is hard to get nowadays in films, and those last 20 minutes are cinema gold. Alot of people on these boards mentioned the last 20 minutes and rightly so because the tension was so nerve wrecking and i cant think of much other films with such a tense atomsphere. Loved it, great film.

I have to say i am very suprised i havent heard of this before,no matter what film i see on tv guides and stuff i always seem to know something about them, mostly from reading reviews and forums on sites like this, but its rare i see a film i never heard of and it turns out to be brilliant. Im even suprised this is not on the imdb 250 list, even though there is a load of great movies left out of that list. I suppose there's loads of great films out there that doesnt get mentioned or praised much, such as, imo;
*Heat
*Memento
*The Conversation
*Insomnia
*Once were Warriors
*The Three colors; Red

These are just a few movies that, i think, doesnt get enough praise or even mentioned, especially 'Three Colors'.
It will nice to hear your ,(glorybox), or anybody else's opinions.
