I agree with what people have said above, but to give PJ credit he didn't pull any punches when it came to the emotional content of the film. It would have been easy (and many another film maker would have done this) to turn this more into a wiz-bang, popcorn and bubble-gum adventure which doesn't allow you to get close to the characters. PJ forces us down with these characters making us feel there pains and fears. <P>Many a mega-budget action pic was afraid to do this.<P>H.C.
