The extraordinary acting won me over

Once again, I was gripped watching a 28 yr old Colin Firth act with such nuance and depth. I recognised Hart Bochner, but I didn't know where from. He played the utter office jerk in Die Hard but, here, clean shaven, I must admit the actor was drop dead gorgeous even if his character was far from it.

To top it off, the film has a wonderful twist ending. Had I not been looking into Firth's back catalogue; I would never have discovered this gripping film. Acting kudos all around.
