Incredible.

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 1999)

I am sitting here wondering where to begin. This movie makes you do that. People are saying that this movie is Kevin Spacey's finest performance. That's saying a lot since he already won an oscar. But, I have to agree with them. Kevin Spacey is one of the best actors out there and he proved it, if he hasn't proven it already, in this movie. There were so many wonderful lines in the movie that he delivered with such perfection! He is a genuine actor. All other actors should go see this movie and take notes. Benning did a great job as well. I usually don't care much for her, but I thought her performance was excellent. The balance between serious and comedy was well written. It's a hard look at life. While I was watching the movie I kept thinking--will this ever happen to me? Will I be in a marriage that will end up like this? It's easy to fall into the trap of an unhappy life. Spacey's character found his way out of the trap and to look back at life and be grateful for everything that has happened. We should all be that lucky. I can't wait to see Kevin again in his next performance. Which should be sometime in March............
