An interesting plot and good performances from all make this a fun movie to watch.

A story of small town lives that unwittingly intersect and in the rawness of reality, ultimately bring both awakening and redemption.

Purchased as a gift so can't really review. Purchase price was right.

Before I watched or bought this movie, I was told by numerous people that the movie was a GREAT movie and a MUST SEE. As a result, I watched the movie with high expectations. The movie started out great, I thought the story/plot was great and the acting was great as well. What prevents this movie from being great, however, is the ending. After 2 hours, the writers seemed to forget that the movie had to end and seemed to just rush an ending. As a result, the ending was not satisfying... the writers could have and should have written a better ending.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this movie. The movie does not offer the stark good vs. evil characters common in movies today. All of the characters were flawed. I could identify with all of the characters, but I would not want any of them as my friends. This is old style story telling; a slow build up to a climax and resolution; not jumping from one climax to the next. The characters kept my attention until the end and the film was more entertaining than I anticipated.
