In many ways it actually reaffirmed my faith in modern cinema... not to come across all heavy or anything, but the direction was sensational, especially during the action scenes which had NO cuts whatsoever for like 15 minutes, just one long take. Must have been a nightmare to choreograph. As a film-maker I was seriously impressed.
