A subtle mix of suspense, tension and questioning

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2013)

A subtle mix of suspense, tension and questioning that doesn't fade for two and half hours. A psychologically harrowing and almost disturbing story that takes advantage of the balanced and well played actors performance. A special mention to the stunning symmetrical evolution of the main actors characters played by Jackman and Gyllenhaal. The director gives us the free choice to pick up our character side, which evolves with the complexity of the situations. This leads to a constant questioning about the right and bad way to solve the case. I just regret that the intrigue lacks a bit of pace. Overall a great movie in the pure line of 'mystic river' and 'Zodiac'.
