Outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2007)

Great acting, great direction, tight edit, fantastic script.
The subject matter disturbed and moved me - and Nicolas Cage is back on top form. Jared Leto does a fine job as the responsibility-free baby brother with his conscience-killing drug habit. I love the initial scene following the bullet from production to kill, beautifully done. The matter-of-fact presentation and slick direction will take a lot of beating for me.
If people in the movie business really take the time to think about what they are doing - this would be the final result.
Best thing I've seen in ages.
