Good one.

Not a particular Tykwer fan, but I'll have to give him a thumbs up on this one. In musical terms, where the average hollywood drama usually reminds me of an overblown orchestra dwelling in either noisy fanfare or schmaltzy tunes, this movie is rather carefully composed chamber music. Exact opposite of Emmerich opportunism, recommended to anybody able to lean back and go with the flow.

Was particularly impressed with Ribisi. Few actors endure quiet takes without finally cracking. Here though he sustains admirably, and builds up tension apparently out of nothing. Good work, despite a straightforward story line. Very pleasing.
