  1. The best movie I've seen this year.
  2. 60
    A meditation on the racial and class conflicts at the heart of the American character.
  3. 30
    The plot is largely a series of excuses for one-liners expertly delivered by Maguire, making all the hatred, maiming, and killing seem like digressions.

    Laughable and not in the least bit convincing. Some of the most poorly staged battles I've seen and Maguire is miscast. Ang Lee's worst.
