Excellent but underrated film

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

What can I say about Citizen Kane that hasn't been said already? Often named the greatest film of all time- this is a subjective opinion of course but there is no denying the impact Citizen Kane had on cinema. The cinematography is an inspiration to every director and DOP- the lighting and framing is astounding, and the black n white only enhances the aspects of lights and shadows. The script is well written and of course every principal actor is fit for their part. Which brings me to Orson Welles. It is staggering to think that he was barely 26 when the film was released. He is the anchor- the director of the film and its voice. His reputation was built on this movie and he certainly delivered later as well. Having said all of this there are people who get bored with Citizen Kane. So the choice is yours but for me this is a masterpiece.

I realize that many will not agree with my opinion that CITIZEN KANE is the greatest film ever made. And that's OK! Sure it's in Black & White, and sure it's old, but it's still relevant even to this day. And there's not a chance that a greater film will ever me made, because it's already been done. This is it, friends!It's a shame that Orson Welles was not able to keep making even better films after this. After all, this was his first film. And where do you go from there? But it's not like he could have done better, cuz he'd already done it. The cinematography is beautiful and the story and the legacy of this film are beyond words. Two thumbs up!

This is a great movie. Even tho the first time I watched it I couldn't fully understand the whole meaning of it.

By far the most amazing camera work I've ever seen
