MCT:May 1, 2008"I read a book that was written in the 11th century. A man said that there was five steps toward making amends. The first involved acknowledging what you did. The second involved remorse. The third involved making right with your neighbor. Like if you stole his chicken, you'd have to go and bring him another. Only then were you able to go to step four, which was making it right with God. But it wasn't until step five that you could really get redeemed. It had to do with being at the same place and the same situation. That as it goes, you'd go and do something different. Only I can't bring Abner Easily back like he was some stolen chicken. Certainly made sure of that 23 years ago. And I don't believe in some God that's gonna open His arms to me even if I did. So there goes steps three and four. And as for step five, time makes sure we're never in the same place twice, no matter how much we wish it. Which is why, for me, I know I'll never be redeemed."
This is yet another amazing Billy Bob Thornton film. I can understand some people don't like movies like this.. maybe it's a bit slow at times for some people, but I enjoy watching drama films like this. And this was very interesting to watch, believable and definitely worth seeing. In this film Billy Bob Thornton is Manuel Jordan, who has just been released from prison for murder. He finds the sister of the boy, seeking forgiveness, but it is harder than he thinks to come out and say it to her. He becomes involved with a preacher and his community house, helping a young girl who Manuel believes is throwing her life away drinking and dancing at the night club across the road. But beneath this unique story is some beautiful feel-good moments, as well as some situations no one would like to be in themselves.
Billy Bob again delivered a stunning performance, I find it hard to imagine anyone else playing his character as well as he did. Morgan Freeman was also part of this outstanding cast, he was great for his role. Holly Hunter was also exceptional, as well as others like Kirsten Dunst. With a cast like this it's hard to imagine things to go wrong.
I recommend everyone to see this and decide for themselves whether or not they enjoyed watching it. It's a brilliant movie, an amazing cast and a strong and memorable story. -
MCT:December 7, 2007I loved this movie. A well crafted story and excellent acting by Billy Bob and the rest of the cast. Watching this movie really displays the abilities of Thornton as an actor, as opposed to his usual comedic role. Very similar to his role in Sling Blade, just more toned down.

MCT:August 29, 2007This is a must see!! This film has nothing to do with all the other works of Billy Bob Thorton. He's an amazing actor! Kirsten Dunst is also playing a great role. If I try and think about a single phrase to sum up the film I would say: "Forgiven, not forgotten".

was just exactly what I needed. It's a very well crafted film (Billy Bob Thorten, Morgan Freeman, Holly Hunter and Kirsten Dunst all turn in wonderful performences) with a very solid, very real script. It's about a lot of big things, atonement, restitution, fighting your way free of the past, but it fits them all neatly into a handful of ordinary lives. I cried, but I cried good tears. I recomend it very much, it's soft and it's sad and it talks about real hope, the kind that you get in the real world, dirty and dented and not fitting very well, but the only kind of hope we have down here. LEVITY. See it.

MCT:February 18, 2007HATE HATE HATE THIS MOVIE. IT SUCKS SO BADLY. I've got a message board on imdb about how badly I hate this movie and it has offended so many people. What the hell is wrong with them. I mean, the actors are decent, but this movie just sucks. It's torture to have to sit through this. I acutally wanted my money back from renting this garbage.

How is this movie not more well-known? Great cast all performed well in this tightly constructed story of a man coming out of jail after 21 years.

Not sure how I feel about this film. Some big actors but an unknown film to me until I saw it in the store. A story of redemption, or failed redemption. Worth at least one look.

MCT:August 14, 2006This movie suprised me so much... the idea of a pastor on the run and a girl who parties too much... the whole plot was cool as was the acting.

Perhaps too smart for its own good. Just to show how much of an impact the movie had on me: I had actually forgotten that it existed until I came across it by accident on here.

Strange film, a modern biblical story. A bit tiring for my taste but the characters are supported by decent (or eccentric?) acting.
