Besieged (1998)
5/10
All show & no go

I fail to understand where all these 8, 9 & 10 votes come from... the film is more concerned with cinematography than telling a story.

OK it was beautifully done, but there was nothing in the story that couldn't have been told in half the time - and then used the other half to fill us in on the background and the results (did he pay for it?, did she go back to him?).

As it stands, the most memorable thing about the film is the introductory sequence featuring that wonderful music, from-the-bones singing and later on the wonderful facial contortions from John C. Ojwang.
