Wow! Now this is what movies should be like. Only thing missing to make it a 10/10 was the fancy special effects that we have today but just goes to show that a good story and great actors can still do better than special effects on their own. The twist got me and box office figures show how amazing this movie was even in it's day! Good job.

It is the final and greatest plottwist that puts a smile on your face, as all the puzzle pieces fit at last. 9/10
