i loved this film, I have seen it a few times love the actor sean penn brilliant out standing actor, had the chance to buy it on ebay, so bought it for a present for my friend. i,am not going to explain the film in detail, because i don,t want to spoil it for anyone but it,s A GREAT FILM, must be seen you won,t regret it.
Grim bleak long and dealing with big issues. 3 interlinked lives are filmed in small scenes which constantly jump about in time. Terrific performances from all the main actors but Sean Penn especially is wonderful to watch: it never occurs to you that he might be acting.
Not easy to watch or follow initially but well worth the effort.
this is very interesting and complex - starring sean penn - a very worthwhile actor the plots shifts backwards and forwards in time and requires more than one viewing to get the most out of it - saw it on tv and this decided me to e bay for it for a second viewing
Saw this film after renting from my local dvd rental store and after watching it and being most impressed I was impelled to purchase. If you have seen this film like me you will want those who you know to also view it and share the emotions you went through on viewing the film for the first time.
I watched this for the first time recently and was totally impressed. It has been nominated for 2 academy awards and 5 Baftas - once you watch it, you'll know exactly why. It's a about how 3 people's lives become linked together - it has an excellent storyline (although somewhat sad)along with superb cinematography and absolutely brilliant acting from all 3 main characters.
This film is really a work of art, brilliant in every way, i hadnt seen it so looked it up on ebay and got it for a great price and was an original, a great buy.
This movie is one of the best I have seen in a long time. Acting is superb! It is not an easy movie to follow and the story is quite dark. But it makes you think...
