The acting is superb (thanks for leaving Clint Eastwood to the directing, and not to the acting like in Bloodwork), the story, touching and belivable, and just plain disturbing. Theres alot of movies that involve rape and kidnapping senarios, but none have hit me this hard in a while. Sean Penn gives us probably the best performance of his career. The same could be said of Tim Robbins, who puts depth and sorrow into a character that could have easilly been wasted. Kevin Bacon is still great, but dosnt quite equal the other two leads (understandable since his part isnt quite as vital to the story). Co-stars include Laura Linney and Laurence "Morpheus" Fishburn who both do what they have to do. Screenplay and acting is the true power in this baby. What a comeback for director Clint Eastwood after the flop Bloodwork! He also composed the music for the film which gives him more brownie points. Overall, all I can say is that I've seen alot of movies latley, some great (Kill Bill Volume 1) some just plain shitty (Scary Movie 3) but this one hits hard, and wont just be forgetten after leaving the theatre. A MUST SEE! |
