Ratings: 6.4/10 Film Class: B
Genre: Drama Thriller
An arsonist uses his wife to seduce and manipulate his parole officer in hope of getting him out of jail. The movie started with a disturbing tone, which set a misleading pace to the movie. The opening felt detached from the rest of the movie, but gave us a short insight into the background of the parole officer, Robert De Niro.
The casting was excellent, Edward Norton once again brings out a raw uncouth character since his role from American History X. This time, there's some "Zen-ness" in it. Robert De Niro never fails to deliver. Milla Jovovich made good as the eye candy in this dark film about deception, temptation and redemption. There's some twist in the storyline, and though the scripting wasn't fantastic, it was really nice seeing the cast in action.
Wasn't much climax in the movie, but it's a movie that will leave you thinking when the credits roll. An unconventional abstract film that isn't everyone's cup of tea.
