nothing new

Reservation Road. Where a child, Josh Learner, was killed in a hit-and-run. The story of the father Ethan (J. Phoenix), trying to get justice in his hands because the cops aren't finding who did it. So he hires a lawyer Dwight Arno (M. Ruffalo) to help him with his case.........

Nothing new here. That story has been done many many many times. However, the acting is superb, I really enjoyed Phoenix for once, and Mark Ruffalo is just great. Jennifer Connelly as Ethan's wife is perfect.

The script makes the events a little too "coincidental" for my taste. And the story was pretty predictable, still worth watching once.
