WTF was the point of the story

Rating: 6/10 (4 April 2008)

Fantastic acting but really, what was the point of this movie? We had a schizophrenic pastor and a psychopathic oilman who, until the last scene ,were doing no more than metaphorically throwing handbags at each other. Coupled with that we have a 10/12 year old boy whose loss of hearing suddenly renders him mute until he is in his late twenties! WTF was that all about.
DDL deserved his bauble but the whole storyline was crap and could have been so much better.
This movie benefited from exceptional acting but left this particular viewer unfulfilled by its pace, story and ending.
