thought provoking movie

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2006)

I have seen this movie before going to bed. After i'm finished with watching the movie, i couldn't sleep as this made me think.
The story is about three characters who are childhood buddies. After 10 minutes, an incident occurs that changes the lives of these three friends. It culminates in Penn murdering Robbins. Then Bacon who is the police officer lets Penn loose instead of arresting him. It is unclear to me whether he understood the fact that Penn murdered Robbins without knowing the fact. They just look at each other without saying anything.
The highlight of the film is screenplay and direction by Clint Eastwood. it is unpredictable at times. Finally Clinet Eastwood has achieved excellence in direction dept too.
At his age, he is still going strong. May God bless him.
