Quotes:

Chief Justice Jarrett: Ahh, General, nice to see you. Have you met Justice Mattis?
Gen. Joel MacAteer: Only by reputation. I read the piece in the Sunday edition.
Faith Mattis: I'm sorry to hear that.
Gen. Joel MacAteer: I was wondering which you found most patronizing, being described as the youngest judge on the federal circuit, or the most beautiful?
Faith Mattis: I'm not sure they said beautiful.
Gen. Joel MacAteer: Well, they certainly should have.
Chief Justice Jarrett: So what do you think of the Pentagon's rising star?
Faith Mattis: I'm told his place on the karmic food chain would be somewhere between a snake and a rat, but of course I ignore that kind of gossip entirely.

Worth the Watch!

I just got a copy of Ignition and watched it without any disappointment, except for Nicholas Lea whom didn't get a huge role in the film other than playing the part a ex-husband. It definately had its heartwarming moments with scenes of a relation ship between father and daughter. I recommend this film to anyone who likes a little bit of everything in a movie. There wasn't too much violence, but the film was pretty realistic.
