A quick look at perverted normalcy.

Rating: 8/10 (30 October 2012)

Kevin Spacey will always be the teacher in "Pay It Forward" for me, but that doesn't make him any less of a versatile actor. The entire cast was great, including Chris Cooper as a closeted homosexual and the young Wes Bentley as an abnormal deceiver. While the infamous "plastic bag" scene both awful and stupid, pretty much everything else was fantastic. From the Smiley's discovery to the disturbing videos Ricky shot, pretty much all of the movie is important, interesting and quite thought-provoking. And what I think to be the best part: the lack of a resolution. Since the movie is from Lester's POV, it makes sense that he wouldn't know how it ended. I liked this movie, as weird as it was, and would probably recommend it.
