As I think most said it's good, just not quite what it could be.
The Lives of Others(which has also just come out) would have been a better buy. It's about a ruthless and efficient Stasi officer in East Berlin who becomes emotionally involved with the lives of a couple is tasked to watch, leading him to question the regime and his own life within it. Highly recommended

Saw The lives of others last night [getting into the mood for a trip to Berlin this week

] was good,found the end really moving.Not in a massive rush to watch it again though.I'd much prefer to watch Cabaret,Liza Minnelli in those stockings does it for me everytime
