Excellent directing and plausible characterization

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2007)

There is a contract between the audience and the creators of any artistic endeavor. Simply put, the creator agrees to make something believable and the audience agrees to suspend disbelief.
This was taught to me by my acting prof in university and has held true for all exhibitions of artistic talent I have had the privilege to experience.
This film fulfilled that contract without even a murmur of doubt. The individuals portrayed seem like people we all know. Their actions in any given situation are realistic and the situations they find themselves in are believable.
Details have been considered from how a person falls when hit by a stray bullet to natural dialog between old friends.
I highly recommend it!
