This story is well written, with tight sequences and riveting special effects. Sling Blade was the first Thornton film I viewed that left its impression on me as did his acting in that film. Now he’s impressed me with his writing.
This was an exceptionally good film. Some powerful acting by Blanchett, Reeves, Swank, Holmes and especially Ribisi. A tight film and superb acting in supporting roles. Cole was a familiar face from Lifetime Movies for Women and a well seasoned actor whose talent and experience shine in this film. Kinnear’s role seemed underplayed at the end of the film to me but he is a fine actor and loved him in As Good As It Gets.
