It's a wonderful surprise when you realize what this movie is about

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2005)

Besides the actors, at first this movie didn't seam as much. During the movie i had the impression it was a cliché after another, but I had the wrong impression. The movie still kept me watching it, thanks to the wonderful acting.
It is rare to see such chemistry between two leading actors as was the case with Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey. Rene Russo completed this triangle, and played a crucial role of defining a part of the male characters that they could not manifest themselves.
Folowing the end of the movie - I was surprised what the movie was actually about. Things that seamed big and important that happened to the characters were mere background, through which their very complicated relationships emerged and shocked. For that the movie felt real as life.
