I just got back from this movie...wow. It was intense, riveting, gritty, and well written. I was thoroughly impressed by all the acting in the movie...Brendan Fraser was the weakest IMO and I'm a fan of his...but he still did pretty well. I highly recommend this movie, it is excellent. I'd add a spoiler, but I don't know how
Edit: ok, so I just figured out how to add a spoiler.
Spoiler:
The part when the Persian man shoots the little girl was horrifying and so intense, I almost burst into tears; there are a lot of good scenes like that.
