Unbelievable acting....

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2001)

Russell Crowe deserves an Academy Award for this one, IMHO. He connects on a number of levels, and the supporting cast is superb as well. I went in to this movie not expecting a lot, and came out crying at the end. If you stereotyped Crowe from his performance in Gladiator (as I did) as 'just another pretty piece of meat', this movie will shatter that idea, and you will see how versatile he can be as an actor.
