“First of all, I avoided this movie when it was first released because of the bad reviews. I never played the game so I had no idea what to expect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI should know better…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI saw this movie for the first time on DVD, sat down with a low expectation, and cranked up my Dolby Digital 5.1 sound system. Was I ever BLOWN away! It was more than I expected and the characters were not as u0026quot;forgettableu0026quot; as some critics said. I found the performances of Tcheky Kanyo (Paladin) and David Warner (Admiral Tolwyn) were memorable. Saffron Burrows (Angel) was great, except that she handled her u0026quot;crisisu0026quot; at the end rather badly. But overall the movie was a treat. I would recommend it for anyone to at least rent this and check it out!”
