    Don't be reserved about seeing this!

     by  ShyLover

    Ignore the critics. Watch it and weep. Someone said earlier that after the boy died you knew what was going to happen, well, I didn't. Some of you must just watch too many movies. Beautiful performances from everyone, especially Mark Ruffalo and Joaquin Phoenix, I hope we don't lose him to Directing, as I have heard. A movie everyone should see.

    Horrible, horrible movie. A tear jerker that doesn't end. The plot is predictable and only Mark Ruffalo was a believable character; even at that I couldn't sympathize with his character at all. We want to walk out befor the movie was half way done and did end up walking out befor the movie predictably ended. Don''t waste you money.

    Some reservations!

     by  Ann_Fan moviesrule

    Both critics and fans seem a little didappointed in this movie. All the actors were extremely good, and that alone made the movie engrossing for me, but I love moral dilemmas. So, director Terry George must take the blame for not allowing them, or us, enough of a challenge. Could have been so much more, but worth seeing nevertheless.

    First off I hate movies that end like that.........Did Mark Ruffalo kill himself, go to jail,get probation, or go free. You don not know all you see is the back of his son crying while looking at his video. I went to see it b/c of Mark Ruffalo and he was just as good and cute as ever! Jennifer and Joaquin were good too. I do think the movie did portray what a family who loses a child would go thru. Most couples have a hard time and sometime don't make it thru the tragic ordeal, so I think it portrayed that well. Overall I think it was good, not fantastic,I think after the boy died you pretty much knew what would follow. But again all 3 showed their great talent.

    No reservations recommending this movie...

    This is a good movie not a great one. The plot is extremely simplistic yet the acting makes it worth the $10. All of the much expected emotion over this tragedy that's every parent's nightmare would be dull in the hands of lesser actors. I did feel a bit played by the director but he did such a good job I didn't mind though he did push me right to the edge. Crime thriller this is not, rather it spoon feeds you all of the way through, there are no twists and turns, nothing to figure out, just actors who personify their characters so well that you are entertained, moved a bit, but not challenged.
