Expensive actors for a poor story!!!

Rating: 4/10 (10 December 2003)

Although the casting includes some of the best actors of these days, this wasn't enough to create some interest in the weak and poor screenplay of the movie. A typical story about three old friends from the youth, that meet again 30 years later when they all get involved in a murder. Of course, you have the good guy that became a cop, the bad guy that decided to become good due to the love for her daughter, but suddenly turns back to bad after she is murdered, and the silly and innocent guy, who will surely be blamed for it, closes the circle. You can probably imagine the rest of the story. Extremely predictable from the beginning, it makes it hard to stay tuned until you get to a point where you really want it to end. But no..., there's still more than half an hour to go. Tim Robbins does very well in his character, but Sean Penn is quite disappointing..., as well as the whole movie.
