Top Critics Reviews

rotten:

– Frank Rich,
TIME Magazine,
11 Dec 2007
fresh:
Carroll Ballard's feature debut is rich in adventure, suspense and mythical elements and marks the prize-winning short-subjects director as a major talent.

Deepens into a far more powerful entertainment through matchless cinematography and talented supporting players.

9 May 2005
