 One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. This movie was made to perfection and I enjoyed watching it from start to finish.Edward Norton plays a drug dealer named Monty Brogan who has just been caught with dugs at his house and it about to serve a seven year jail sentence. This movie shows how he spends his last hours of freedom and who he chooses to trust when it comes to who was part of getting him arrested in the first place. Even the closest people he knows could be involved, but it's all about his last night and wondering whether o not he will eve survive being locked away for that long. Once again, not to my surprise Edward Norton was 100% amazing in this film. He perfected his character, showed great emotion and couldn't have possibly been any better for his role in this film. All the character development is outstanding, and the cast was just about perfect for the characters. Brian Cox I thought was just as great for his part, the emotion from him being brilliant. Philip Seymour Hoffman couldn't have been much better either, his part seemed smaller than the others but really it just wouldn't have been the same without him. And Barry Pepper? I honestly can't remember seeing him in any other films before, but he is a fantastic actor and I really should check out some of his other films. Rosario Dawson was okay. Nothing at all wrong with her acting I've just never really liked he films. I guess this one made me like her a bit more though; she is quite a good actress. The ending was brilliant in every possible way. I couldn't think of a better way to end this movie, it may seem a little bit confusing but once you know what happens you're just left with a good feeling that stays with you long after the movie. This movie is one in a million, there's nothing quite like it that I’ve seen before. Maybe it even deserves five stars, but for the moment I’ll stick with 4.5. You really, really, really should see this! 9/10 CommentsLogin or Signup to post a comment |

Since you liked him in this, check out a little know canadian film "The Snow Walker" : http://www.listal.com/movie/the-snow-walker
He is lead in that movie, and its him and a sick dying eskimo girl alone in the northern tundra, fighting for survival after a plane crash. Amazing film, a tear jerker, and it made me list him as one of my fave actors after seeing it.
