Ultimate truth is in the background of all that transpires in this movie. Most reviewers seem to see only the surface meanings--the drama of life... ther than the subtler esoteric meanings Full Review

I am always amazed how people interpret movies (and books) that you MUST read between the lines. I saw a lot of \"hope\" in the film. A... son was being taught- some won't be able to grasp. A good film should stick with you and provoke thought. Although not the \"best\" of these types of films it still had \"brass\". Full Review

This movie was another attack from Hollywood on people trying to do the right thing. DeNiro had a tough job listening to prisoners and trying to... rmine if they were truly reformed or just saying what was necessary to get out of prison. As a Christian, I felt a personal attack on my lifestyle. Satan is alive and well attacking institutions that are doing what is necessary. Full Review

All ye searching for Primal Fear redux, abandon hope. The character-driven drama he (Curran) offers viewers instead is something far more complex, cracked and unique for an American movie boasting big-name stars: an unblinking glare into the abyss.Full Review

So few Hollywood movies go here that this one's oddly welcome, even in its most turgid moments, of which there are many.Full Review

De Niro is so good at playing a man who has essentially emasculated himself because of fear of his anger, so that sex and anger may be leashed in precisely the opposite way, as in "Raging Bull." And Norton, the puppetmaster - it may not even be freedom he requires, but simply the pleasure of controlling others to obtain it.Full Review

Ultimately, Stone is a haunting film about what it feels like to be really and truly lost.Full Review

I was with the movie until its head-scratcher of an ending, too oblique for its own good.Full Review
