Quotes:
Ethan Powell:
[Farewell letter to Dr. Caulder] Dear Theo, I'm sorry I'm not there to say good-bye. You were right. Freedom is not just a dream. It's there on the other side of those fences we build all by ourselves. Thank you forgiving me hope and for giving me back my daughter. And I thank you, Theo, for sharing this journey with me. Your friend, Ethan.

I sincerely believe this movie has been under-rated. Instinct is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It invites people to meditate about the meaning of freedom and it forces them to travel inside their mind.
Anthony Hopkins is an extraordinary actor and the whole cast is superb. This movie is a gem, it's simply great!
