Simply a very good movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2005)

Being a fan of Clint Eastwood, I felt I should see this movie, even though he's not in it. The movie would be worth seeing, even just because of the cast of solid actors Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Lawrence Fishburne. Sean Penn is (IMHO) one of the best actors of our era. Throw in an interesting story and you've got a movie well worth seeing.
If you look at the overall story of the movie it doesn't seem that compelling, yet when I watched the movie I got totally sucked in (I had actually planned to tape it on pay-per-view, and watch it the next day). I watched the first 20 minutes of it, and ended up staying up and watching the whole movie until 1:00am. That's the kind of movie it is.
I don't feel I need to say too much more about it, the title sums it up nicely. Good one Clint!
