I didn't expect much before watching Gattaca, but was pleasantly surprised. This film was very well done, and looking back should have earned a few Oscars. Everything about this film shines and comes together to make one of the top ten of 1997.
Both Ethan Hawke and Jude Law have great performances in this film. Without these huge performances, this film would be nothing more than beautiful sets and an interesting plot. Andrew Niccol's debut in the director's chair is very impressive and all the more astounding since he also wrote the screenplay. Perhaps most important about a film of this genre is to not be overlong. Gattaca flows very smoothly and never lost my attention.
I would fully recommend this film to all. Well worth the rental.
8/10 stars.
