| | intelligent script superbly acted | Anonymous 01/06/2008 | | I was riveted by Alec Baldwin's performance, even though I saw it on the small screen. He easily held his own with Ben Kingsley (Oscar for Gandhi); he gave a very powerful, sensitive dramatic performance that was as natural as breathing. The previous reviewer is right, it is a thinking person's movie. But it's not simply high-minded--there are unexpected twists and turns that paint a moral palette with many shades of grey, involving the two men and also Amy Irving's character. (Amy Irving is an 'ace' too.) That medical malpractice is at the heart of the matter made it all the more fascinating, considering the relevance.**** |
| | A poignant commentary on the world we live in. | gjbsport 12/05/2007 | | This is movie goes to the heart of our society. A man is considered insane because he confesses to his crime and expects, even demands, to be punished for that crime. It reveals the character of people. The power of one man to do the right thing regardless of the consequences. Considering the consequences ahead of time, the accepting them and then even demanding that they be enforced. Man's laws are arbitrary and can be subverted by clever, sleazy lawyers but God's law is immutable, it changes not and cannot be avoided through the slight of hand of men. It seemed that every person who had any dealing with Ben Kingsley's character was changed in some way. They seemed compelled to do the right thing just as he was doing by accepting responsibility for his actions. This movie didn't do well because it mentioned God, it moves along much like a book might, and it was too revealing of people's heart. It forced me to look at my life and reevaluate it. A thinking person's movie, it is not mindless entertainment. |
| | thought provoking | Anonymous 01/25/2007 | | The pivot of the movie is this line by Ben Kingsley were he tells Alec Baldwin " In life it is very difficult to know what the right thing is, but once you know what the right thing is, it is very hard to do any thing else". |
