REVIEWS

Review by Jo Sutton (posted on 2-Jun-2008)

An emotional, engrossing film. I think its a part love story, part thriller. The late Heath Ledger gives a moving performance as the son of a racist, but the acting honours go to Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton, the latter giving one of his best performances as a racist who slowly falls for Halle Berry's character, not realising that he is responsible for her husband's death. He goes to the same diner and orders the same thing every day and I found myself feeling sorry for his loneliness but hating him for his racism. One of my favourite films.
