Thought-provoking, heart-wrenching, and beautiful.

Note; This is a review of the Theatrical Cut.
I'm not going to lie. The only reason that I sat down to watch this movie was because I think Ashton Kutcher is absolutely gorgeous. I think that he's funny too, but I hardly expected Kelso from that 70's show to be a dramatic genius. How wrong I was. Kutcher's depiction of a deeply troubled and serious character was compelling and overall, well done. The rest of the acting was brilliant as well. I thought Amy Smart was great, considering that she was practically playing several completely different characters. The plot was fascinating, and quite literally kept me on the edge of my seat. It was interesting, original, and deep. There were about 10 minutes in the middle where it began to get a teeny bit slow, but the film quickly threw me into another plot twist. My favourite part, of course, was the ending, as it is with almost any movie. One thing I cannot stand is a weak ending, and this movie has one of the strongest endings I have ever seen. It left me with lots to think about, and for days, even weeks after first watching this movie, I was still turning it over in my head, still marveling at the beauty and power of the movie. In case you hadn't guessed yet, I would highly recommend this movie. You'll not regret seeing it.
