The casting, the soundtrack, the story, the costuming - perfection all the way around.

It totally had me when Johnny Hooker was fake shot, and I was so relieved when he got up off the floor.

Our older son is a fairly accomplished piano player, and one of his favorite pieces to play is Solace from this movie.
