Wonderful and exciting! This is one complex, deep, and extraordinary film!

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2003)

I really loved this film. I think this film was very well thought out and Kevin Bacon, Tim Robbins, and Sean Penn did a fantastic performance. Brilliant cast. It's one of those movies that keep you on the edge of your seat, just waiting to find out what happens next, itching with anticipation. It has a cool twist ending and an exciting plot. Then it adds a sympathetic mix and makes you feel sorry for Jimmy Markum (Penn), and many of the other characters. About halfway through the movie, you end up predicting who Katie Markum's (Jimmy's daughter) killer is, but then you change your mind. It's that way through the whole film and the killer ended up to be the one you least expected. Those kind of 'least-expected' films are my favorite! Keep 'em coming Hollywood! You should really go see this film. It's a total success! Personally, I'm buying it on DVD the day it comes out! Don't make the mistake and wait to rent it, go to the theater or buy it! You won't regret it!
