My Rating:
My Review: Directed by Clint Eastwood. This is one fantastic movie. I thought I knew who did it, but my opinion kept shifting. This murder mystery drama is a splendid piece of work, with actual character development, the acting in this movie was way above par. Unexpectedly good. Plausible plot twists left me realizing that even in a movie, things are sometimes more complicated than they appear. Despite the stellar cast (Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne) I didn't see much competition for the klieg light, all the actors kept an even keel in their portrayals of the characters. Clint Eastwood does an outstanding job at direction. Even though I've seen this movie before (originally watched in 2004, again in Nov of 2011), at first I couldn't remember who did it… As the movie progressed, I found that my vague memories were hints about the excellence of this movie. This movie still gets a 5 out of 5. Now I know why I own this movie!
