Comments:
(Merlin) Great acting from Nicole and Sean (He does brooding hurt so well, doesn't he?), but pretty depressing.

(Michele) The movie starts out with Sylvia (Nicole Kidman) masked in intrigue. "Who is she?" Tobin, played by Sean Penn is a hardened Federal agent. I think that Nicole did really well, however I think that a not so well know name may have been better. People seem to have expectations for well knowns. Don't get me wrong, she played this character well, even though I know next to nothing regarding Zuwanie. She did very well, I guess just seeing her in Bewitched, probably wasn't the best thing to do. Good overall political intrigue movie.

(Merlin) Awesome visual style. Excellent acting, incredible cast. Lots of gratuitous nudity and violence. Some very disturbing scenes. Really like a graphic novel come to life.

(Michele) Really cool visual effects. Definatly a graphic novel-style movie. Almost an NC-17 rating with the violence. Good thing the colors are played around with. A 'guy' movie.
