A powerful, and at times gut-wrenching, film

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 2014)

This is a terrific film for a lot of different reasons. Whenever a film encompasses a wide variety of genres, and is able to switch between them seamlessly, then you know it's a winner.
And that's what this film does. It juggles mystery, action, drama, and suspense without forcing it.
Casey Affleck does a great job because his character is so understated. The supporting cast is excellent (my favorite is Ed Harris). The film is well-paced and technically proficient.
The film raises tough moral questions and does not attempt to answer them. It will make you think about what's right or wrong in this world, and who is to decide?
The film is gripping and emotional. I think it's a bit underrated here on IMDb (I'd say top 250 or top 500 would be more accurate).
