I remember first seeing this film when I was about 9 or 10 and loved it! I thought Kurt Russell was God and went through a stage of wanting to be a fireman. Now 'a few years' later I can objectively review it...Kurt Russell is still God!!! Along with his performance theres equally awesome ones from Robert de Niro & Donald Sutherland. Some of the other performances are a bit bad (Billy Baldwin I'm looking at you!) but the real star of the show here is the fire sequences. They are truly amazing and manage to put you in the scene so that you feel you're in the middle of the fire with them. A true classic.

Zarek was a big mystery to me after the last book and I wanted to see what type of woman would get through to him. And lo and behold, it was Astrid! I loved delving into his history and seeing his inner thoughts. He wasn't the completely grumpy loner that he came across as, he was actually a really lonely guy that didn't feel like he was wanted or liked by anyone after a painful past. I so felt for him. And so did Astrid, who managed to melt his hard exterior to see the soft, gentle guy beneath.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions in regards to Acheron, he seems to be some sort of demi-god/Atlantean/god killer hybrid that scares even Artemis. Cannot wait to read his story.

"I was raised Catholic and I still consider myself a fairly spiritual person even though I have a hard time identifying with most Christians in this country. But I still maintain a belief in God and in Jesus, and that gets tried on a daily basis. The older I get, the wiser I get, the tougher it is to believe in a divine power or whatnot. So that movie appeals to me on that level alone. To take it beyond, it’s just a fantastic Martin Scorsese picture. Great performances in it. The first portrayal of Christ where I was, “Wow, this might be what it was like.” He wasn’t a guy of all beatitude and perfection. He was a man, first and foremost, who just happened to be the son of God."
