Great acting full stop.

Rating: 6/10 (23 November 2003)

Well, the cast is made up of some well-known character actors. I could not expect less of these great actors. However, like many others, I find the movie lengthy and slow paced.
But when I think about it, the movie is like a grandfather telling a murder story between 3 estranged childhood friends. Perhaps many would not agree with me, but the pace and plot build-ups sure feels like it.
Stripping away the many (somewhat) unnecessary details and all these great actors, you've just got a very simple story with a small twist in its ending.
Then again, one could view this as art.... but not me.
