I'm somewhat miffed that I didn't get to see this in theaters. This could very well turn out to be a blind buy.

Consider the films budget, it was probably little less than 5 million.

Fascinating film but the progressive nature (and the film's unwavering direction) of the characters' tragedies make it an almost punishing watch. Definite buy for the performances and overall execution of the screenplay.

Looks uncompromising. I love films that do not flinch. I like the artwork, too. It's... dark, and, uh, frank.

F**king great movie, might buy it on HD-DVD, although it's probably the most grim film I've seen in a couple years.

Although I have yet to see There Will Be Blood (TOMORROW!!!!) I consider this the best film of 2007.

So it can't do any worse than second!

Great movie, Lumet's best work in years (decades?). Horrible standard issue artwork.

This movie is fantastic. The narrative is a little tricky, in a 21 Grams kind of way, but its pretty easy to piece things in order if you're paying attention.

Very compelling and Hoffman is incredible as always.

Marisa Tomei has a great rack and she's often without a top on in this movie (well done lumet)... movie so so; not great. Watchable.
