Excellent movie about personal redemption.

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 1999)

Kevin Spacey outdoes himself in this marvelous film about a man whose life has become meaningless and virtually unendurable, but who finds redemption for just long enough that he knows what it is like. Sadly, those around him are so caught in their petty lives, they do not discover the secret of his redemption. In a single moment, he grasps for the first time his true role as a human being, and before he has time to savor it, things take a tragic turn.
