Great Movie...Great Characters...Lots of Interestig Twists... by norm_the_moviegoer
From a movie-goer that enjoys good character development, this is definitely a movie to see. The actors are tremendous, real, and extremely believable. The facial expressions, the range of emotions, the revealing of information about the history and motives of the players... If you enjoy a movie that takes you through the an entire range of feelings and mixes in some unique surprises, you will enjoy this movie.
