Excellent excellent movie.

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2008)

My theory about movies is if you don't think any of the actors are acting then chances are its an excellent movie. Well that theory holds up well here.
I think what frustrates some people who watch this movie and I must confess me to, is you get no clear line of whether Daniel is a good guy or a bad guy.
He does things that you like and agree with and then he takes such a vengeful stance on things you wonder. Should he have killed the fake brother or let him stay with him as a confidant? The guy sure seemed to be on his side.
I agreed that the priest needed a good butt-whooping as Daniel gave him. But should he have murdered him in the end or shown mercy? Lets face it the priest was a fake profit and general sleaze-bag but was murder the correct option. Though I do love the final line of the movie. What was it. "I'm all done here."
Did he guzzle booze at the movies end in his bowling room? Vodka? That was a gruesome scene. And watching him eat in that final scene with the priest was mesmerizing.
Alcoholism had set in and possibly brain damage. He had the gait that comes along with it.
Well the acting from the whole cast was superb.
Loved the movie.
Now if your looking for a true present day hall of fame actor look no further than Daniel Day Lewis. He is on par with Crowe and Phoenix.
