I spent most of the walk/bus trip back home working out all the epicly stupid things in the film.

And then I saw that my friend Scott had linked to this review, which happily lists lots of them, so I don't have to.

But frankly I could start poking even more small holes in it, but my blood pressure doesn't need it.

Plus points: Looks gorgeous, great sound, very tense, nice visual design.
