Great movie!

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2006)

Great movie! It started out loud and intense to introduce you to the main character via his fears. It then calms down to move directly into the story. It kept my interest and never got too slow. The acting was great: very believable and human. Nick Nolte is one of my favorite actors and he continues to be so with this movie. He fits the father/teacher/mystic role of Socrates quite well. Scott Mechlowicz, who reminds me of Freddy Prince for some reason, did a good job. I loved the way the photography and directing were focused at just the right places. The important message of the book was delivered in a very real and yet mystical way. Well worth the money.
