COMMUNITY REVIEWS
I love this film
submitted by messa on June 20, 2013, 3:38pm
A man who feels he was denied his birthright goes to extremes to reclaim what is his. The cool detachment in the way he narrates the story is both funny and a little creepy. Alec Guinness is amazing, as always and as a testament to his acting abilities, you can almost forget he's playing many of the roles himself. A wonderful movie not to be missed.
Some very mild violence, nothing that should be upsetting to today's kids.
