The best executed Police Drama

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2009)

I must say that I consider Brad Pitt as a serious actor. He is not like the other pretty faces in Hollywood, he actually has talent and does not depend only in his looks. I think that he is really smart choosing roles (Fight Club, Snatch, Kalifornia, etc.) with a few exceptions. Morgan Freeman is really great as well and does his job like nobody could ever dream.
The relationship they develop during the film feels genuine, despite the clichés. That is the cornerstone in this movie, its authenticity. What we have here is a masterpiece with its position at the IMDb top 250 very well earned (unlike some other movies). The script exceeded my expectations, the photograph shows a really depressing place which is good for setting the mood, and the performances are great. Even if the movie it's not fast-paced, it managed to capt our attentions. This film has also one of the best endings in my opinion. I really enjoyed this movie a lot and I recommend it to everyone.
A definitely must see before you die film. It might not disappoint anyone. This is one of those films that makes you keep thinking about them hours after you watched it.
