YEAR: 2007 RATED: R

I was really looking forward to seeing this, since it stars two of my favorite actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo. The movie starts off with Phoenix's son getting killed in an accidental hit and run by Ruffalo. The raw emotion in the first 20 minutes of the film is very heavy and the storyline uses this energy to fuel the rest of the film which is admittedly very slow. The interesting part, almost Shakespearean in nature, is when Phoenix befriends Ruffalo in his relentless search for his son's killer. Both actors give tremendous performances and that's why you should see this film, since the rest of the story and characters are a bit flat.
