- It's well worth seeing, if a bit schematic. I'd second Rod's recommendation
- to put off seeing reviews of any kind beforehand; best to be surprised where
- there are surprises.

- The actors who played the soldier and his girlfriend were in a bizarre
- British film a few years ago which involved cannibalism at a fancy restaurant
- a la Sweeney Todd; "Eat the Rich", if my memory serves me. All during the
- movie I was _sure_ I'd seen her before somewhere, and it only popped into
- my head afterwards.
