Not the typical cheap Hollywood entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2013)

I put off seeing this movie mostly because it was misrepresented in it's advertising and it seemed like it was going to be shallow. However, I'm a fan of Christina Ricci and Samuel L Jackson. They are phenomenal actors and definitely shone brightly in this movie. It can be difficult initially forgetting Justin Timberlake as a singer if you grew up on 'N Sync as I did, but I found him perfect for this role and he has done very well developing as an actor in my opinion. This movie was able to induce real emotion as I watched the characters' struggles, a testament to its depth. I watched it again a few days later and loved it even more, picking up on little hints I had missed before. If you only want cliché blockbusters, this movie may not be right for you. To everyone else, definitely watch it!
