Finally A REAL Movie

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2003)

Clint Eastwood really yanked the best out of all of these actors. Sean Penn has finally come of age,with a burn like scotch not wine. Clearly Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon just needed juicy characters to chomp on because they're unrecognizable in this film...the best they've been in years.Laurence Fishburne can actually act without sunglasses on and he's tastefully understated.The womens characters played by Marcia Gay Harden and Laura Linney are powerful and sneak up on you, but the story does too, which again speaks to Eastwoods abilities.If your sick of those silly juvenile joke flicks you'll really like this story movie.
