emotively charged

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2017)

Brilliant acting by Sean Penn and Tim Robbins, with supporting roles by Laurence Fishburne and Kevin Bacon. One of the most realistic portrayals of a father's emotional response to losing a child, and what irrational actions he will take in revenge.
It really is unfortunate how a single tragic event in one's childhood can impact the rest of one's life. That's how important our childhood is, our growing up and development of our brains and bodies.
One of those rare films that depicts what will realistically happen given the circumstances, rather than the Hollywood happy ending or the cinematic satisfying ending. Certainly recommended. Kudos to Clint Eastwood.
