Finally disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (11 February 2014)

My rating and also my review would be in another level if the last minutes had turned out differently. I have to admit that in this picture you will see great acting performances from the main characters. Maybe Kevin Bacon was not something special, but both Tim Robbins and Sean Penn gave memorable performances here.
Well, it was a great story with big doses of mystery and secrecy and agony that kept me interested, at least for the biggest part of the movie. Many guesses and speculations from my side to fill the blanks and find out what really happened, came out to left me disappointed in the last, maybe, 15 minutes when the truth was revealed.
I cannot say in which way the ending could be better, but I can say for sure that if the first 2/3 of the movie should be rated above 8, the final third was brought out from some mediocre ordinary thriller movie that you are bored to watch.
To sum up it was a nice picture that dropped its performance finally due to the boring ending of the story it was based on.
