A well-performed character study, fully absorbing throughout; if the script is at times schematic, it's certainly brilliantly realised, and Van Sant, Damon and Williams sweep us along with wonderful power.

That's funny... I also just finished viewing it for the first time, and felt the same way. Wasn't nearly as good as it was built up to be, but none-the-less, it was a pleasant film to watch. I too would give it two-stars.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
