A rough but great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 1999)

This is one of the roughest movies I have seen. It takes you through all the emotions. I cried and laughed, and then I cried again. In this movie we are shown the most terrifying murder that I have seen on film. It really felt like someone put a knife in my guts, and turned it around. This is the only reason, why this movie should not be one of the best. On the other hand, it could also be another reason for it to be even better, because it dares to show the main actor doing such a terrible thing. And even though you know he did this, you learn so much about him, that you later in the movie forgive him, because he changes, and at the end, he is almost a hero in your mind. When I read the comment of Ari NY on the main page, two days before I saw the film, I thought that he most certainly overrated this movie. But now I have to admit that he was right. I wouldn't say this is the best movie I ever saw, but it's up there with the greatest. And I agree with Ari that Edward Norton deserves the Oscar as best actor compared to Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. I haven't seen all the other movies so I can't say anymore about that. But I can say: "Go and watch this movie on the big screen, but be prepared for the roughness."
