Okay the system wouldn't post with my all caps shout, but just know that this is a Great Freaking Movie!!
The story is fresh, the dialog sparkling, & the production is well- executed. Vincent D'Onofrio is, as I have come to expect, superb. It was nice to see Holland Taylor, known to many as Alan & Charlie Harper's mom on "Two and A Half Men," but will always remain in my heart the sexually talented Judge Roberta Kittleson on both "Ally McBeal" and "The Practice." I had never before heard of writer/director Brad Anderson, Ms. Taylor's nephew, but will certainly look for his work in future.
The big shock of this enterprise is Marisa Tomei. For all the movies in which I had seen her, and the maybe-she-won-maybe-she-didn't Oscar, I had just never been impressed. I am now. Her emotional presence in this role is outstanding. Furthermore, there are moments when she is just so cute I was drop-jawed, college crush beguiled.
See this dang movie!
