Writer Guillermo Arriaga (Amores Perros) bring us this story with a perfect mix of flashbacks and present time. Tommy Lee Jones not only impresses with his direction, but lets you feel the pain of Pete Perkins.
A strong movie about the meaning and emotion of friendship, the madness of mental pain or even humanity in general. | ||||||||
