Some cirtics have been comparing this film to --- dare I say it---- The Godfather.

I had the privilege to see it two days ago, and it is certainly the best film so far this year, brilliant acting, astounding music, great filming and a nuanced social commentary about good vs. evil that in fact approaches the majesty of FFC's masterpiece. I'll withhold judgment as to whether a comparison to the GF is apt, but I donot hesitate to say that not since GFII has there been a better sequel.

Heath Ledger's performance lived up to all the hype, and his character will go down as one of the greatest in the histryof cinema.

I say to everyone RUN to see this picture.
