This is a film about real people and is done exceptionally well!

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2005)

I may be overrating this movie by a point- but I give it a 9 out of 10. Yes, I did like John Robinson, Victor Rasuk, and Emile Hirsch before seeing the movie- but I think even if I hadn't- this would still be one of my favourite movies! The movie, created by Stacy Peralta himself, tells the story (of course) with Stacy being the smart one, Jay being the "bad-ass", and Tony being the one with too much bravado. It's starts out with a very strong beginning, and picks up a lot of details about each character's life and how each of them live... the climax leaves you awaiting a very dramatic ending. *_* Sorry- but that doesn't happen. There's a twist in the end with a minor character's (Sid) sensitive hearing turning into brain cancer. That brings the characters back together, and the ending is a warm and mushy reunion. Not what I expected. I mean the movie was about two hours long they could've given the ending more thought. But all in all, there are great actors acting out a great story, and I can't wait until this movie comes out on DVD! :)
