Powerhouse performances and ambigious character motivations make this a highly engaging, well constructed thriller. There's flaws in an innapropriate, flourish of a score and underwritten character - but the emotional movements of Penn and Robbins, and their subsequent confrontations with each other, really make the film worthwhile. Bacon delivers a more subtle and surprisingly, with pun intended, less hammy performance than the other actors. This really is an ensemble coming together to make a film solid, not unlike Australia's LANTANA. (Oh, and as if you didn't you just get up and feel like Robbins just had the shit piled up against him). 8.3
