Featured review
Great Acting & Strong storyline
I had not seen any promos or hear about this movie movie from anyone. I picked up the DVD for one reason that it had Ethan Hawke & Mark Ruffalo in it. And boy I'll tell they have done great justice to the characters.
I expected a little too much out of the movie, but I wasn't too disappointed either. Movie runs at a very decent and a balanced pace Acting, writing & directing - Yes Brian Goodman has done a good job.
What impressed me the most was the acting of Ethan & Mark. The chemistry is fantastic through out the movie.
I wasn't too impressed with Amanda Peet's acting. She wasn't strong enough for the character she played.
The best thing out of the movie was the music score. Great work!!! All in all, a good watch. Not a great movie but still good enough..
