compelling drama

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2006)

the story line about random convergence was dealt with well in 'grand canyon' but this takes it to a much higher level.
movies rarely give me a lump in the throat.
this one did it 3 times. the child protects her daddy, the upper middle class professional finds out her true friend and the other one I leave to your imagination. lots to pick from.
the film flips effortlessly between story lines and is just the right time length to get the message across.
Mr Haggis is a local hero and I can see why.
looking forward to more great entertainment from him. I hope he doesn't do a Robert Deniro or Marlon Brando and get involved in filler pap.
