Jason... Great review!

I also agree that Hoffman deserved the award and Cruise should (at the very least), have been nominated. I also felt Hans Zimmer should have taken the statue for his work with the wonderful score. This is a great film that bests many of the “neurological wannabes” that have jumped on the bandwagon since its release.

I’ll be picking this one up for sure.

Herb.
