I kind of played switch the actor and at this point HE could play all the winners

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2006)

just thought Matt Dillon was the one guy who stood out in this film full of greats. worthy of an Oscar all his own. it was his strongest performance that really over shadowed the rest of the fine cast (INMO). from his earliest days as an outsider, Matt showed he could play strong parts that were a little shaky towards good and evil,...... this role was slightly demented if not racial cop that has issues. he also was all about the job as he worked out the issues.in the end the compassion came through and getting the job done hit him like a ton of bricks. He succeeded and you could see it in his eyes and body movements. under no circumstance did he forget the brutality of his earlier actions. In the most dangerous situation at the end, matts revelation and reconciliation crashed into him and he did not faulter in the end by giving Strong outlooks on the way this country is maybe moving forward and not looking back so much!
