Good direction; First-rate acting; Fascinating story, 31 July 2001
8/10
Author: Kent Smith from Tampa Florida

This is the kind of film you'll be debating a year after you see it. Harvey Keitel at his best.

The film should have been nominated somewhere.

This is a truly adult film with no easy answers, but with fascinating people involved in a plot worth your close attention.
