Jack is so good... he must be cloned

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2005)

More than that:
1. Hunt was brilliant, I always knew she had it in her to make that kind of performance happen
2. Kinnear deserved more than a Golden Globe nomination
3. Cuba got a small role that fit him like a custom made glove
4. The characters were masterfully crafted, the dialog was genuine and truly inspired, the directing was rock solid
5. The movie's message is superb and "you make me wanna be a better man" is a powerful and memorable line
6. This was a treat. One of the few 1997 movies Hollywood can be proud of
PS I watched this movie again after more than seven years and I enjoyed it as much as I did the first time around... I can't recall more than 5-6 movies that had that kind of effect on me.
