As a huge fan of the team of Danny Boyle and John Hodge I really looked forward to seeing this film. Previous works such as Trainspotting and Shallow Grave helped to build up my expectations for this film. Seeing that Ewan McGregor was in the lead role didn't hurt either. I loved this film. The performances were great especially those of Lindo and Hunter as Jackson and O'Reilly the two angels sent to join Robert and Celine together in eternal love. The camera work was also brilliant especially the scene were Robert goes to pick up his ransom. The shots of the Utah desert and the dirt road car chase will be remembered for a long time. Another great aspect was the very cool sound track. With tracks by groups such as the Sneaker Pimps, Faithless and the Prodigy this film is bound to sell a lot of sound track cds. But it is the quick witted dialogue that steals the show. Again Ewan McGregor masters his lines and makes them truly his own with Cameron Diaz playing the role of Celine perfectly. This is truly one of the funniest and sometimes blackest comedies you will see for a long time.
