For the genre, this without a doubt has got to be one of the best if not the best. A book written by C.S. Lewis almost 30 years earlier created some legal issues around this movie, but all that aside, this movie is one of those movies that does an excellent job of portraying so much of WHAT has brought Western society to the low ebb it currently is suffering from, especially here in the USA and WHY. This is not to say Europe is any better, matter of fact, Europe in many ways is much worse. This movie is much like a well orchestrated symphony. It graphically crescendos to a penultimate finale through Pacino’s incredible soliloquy at the end when ultimately good triumphs……..at least this time.
