Excellent Depiction of Good VS Evil

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2009)

Gerard continues to amaze me. Yes, I expected the movie to show me why I should believe in his character, and have empathy for what he lost. He cinched it for me. It's not far fetched to think that angry men or victims of crime if given the chance and financial background, could and would seek vengeance on lawyers or any justice system that protects the criminal instead of the family. We have just that in the American court system. Instead of preventing crime and protecting victims, our system and courts aren't doing the job. This is why a writer put forth the idea, the scheme, these 2 actors explore the what ifs? This movie shows good vs evil. Which is the good? Which is the evil? You wonder all through the movie who you can cheer for? And should you? Gerard/Clyde shows his vulnerability by baring it, and that's, really saying, here I am with nothing else to hide behind. Interesting theory. Or maybe he knows he has a nice ass and women should see it in every movie. Who cares? So, both actors step away from other more predictable roles, acting styles, but thats what actors look for. I'm glad that both Gerard and Jamie took a chance, and produced a piece of work that makes, us, the fans think about what we saw. I've seen the movie 9 times, and will see it again on Sunday. Why? I've been there, and seen and felt the way Clyde felt. Definitely worth seeing again if you didn't like it, to view it from a different perspective. Its not a perfect movie, there are cliffhangers, but thats what a movie is supposed to do, interact, entertain, acclimate to where the characters are at mentally, find solace or resolution of the problem/plot, rise to the end or not, dis-engage and talk about what you saw. As far as I was concerned, it was excellent! Gerry should get an Oscar. Hope to see him back on stage in something along the same lines, because as an actor, Gerard has already moved from various genre's, sci-fi, romance, comedy, drama, documentary, short films, singing, musicals, and has the potential to do more at his own pace. He's got a road ahead of good roles, I can feel it. Not sure if I spoiled this or not.
