Ratings and reviews

HUGH JACKMAN. He made my day. Artistically speaking, he and Nicole did a fabulous job. Kept my attention throughout the film. Touched on a main topic well-known here in the state's when it comes to the life of the little boy. Good movie. Hugh was a distraction, but after my 3rd viewing, I was able to focus more on the plot. Can't help it. He's eye candy.

Both primarys can act the plot the villan as an amazing class emphasis but love and family win. Guess the protaganist you an guess.

I had this on dvd and I played it to the point that it ended up warped. I absolutely LOVE Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. I also love the quote that shows in the very begining of the movie. The banner saying "A life lived in fear is a life half lived." I am getting that as.my next tattoo.
