The quick synopsis from IMDb:
"A convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a parole officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman's path."
This was not a big action movie; the action was all taking place in the interactions (dialogue-driven)- the interview scenes, the seduction scenes, the final scene between Jack (DeNiro) and Stone (Norton)...early on in the film Stone asks Jack if they are really so different- hasn't he ever done anything wrong? Which I think was huge...how many things in life are decided split second with long lasting consequences...The opening scene, with Jack holding the baby out the window-could have gone either way at that point....
oh and Milla Jojovich is so amazingly gorgeous...
Overheard walking out:
1.That was terrible. 2. Boring
We thought it was GREAT! I have a new respect for Edward Norton, I thought he was amazing in this role.
