CGiii Comment

Give it time...and then, be prepared to be blown away!

Very few directors can change the pace of a film so many times, in such a short space of time and it continues to flow effortlessly.

Fantastic performances, fabulous score...and then, there's that scene.

Talent and skill, on show, for all the world to see!
