    Note: When it ends, it makes one feel it doesn't have an ending, being like a book with 10 last pages torn out.

    Ambitious, well-made, well-acted, yet unsatisfying.

    An excellent movie. Very cold, dark and deep.
    Somewhat touching as well. It was very well-acted.
    Interesting storyline, but pretty sad as well.
    Ending was cut off a bit too quickly though. It had a rough one.
    The movie had sort of an eerie feeling to it.
    Enjoyed it nonetheless. ...( read more)Amazing performances..

    After seeing this movie, I'm glad I didn't see this before James Gray's other movies. Because then i would not have been interested in his other works (The Yards, We Own The Night) which I actually really liked. The main problem with this movie is it is very directionless. It ...( read more)just meanders. But I'll give the ending some props. But all in all, see Gray's other works. He has matured very much between this and The Yards.

    Surprisingly thrilling and enjoyable. Am I the only one who found there many similarities with American History X?

    I love this movie. So touching & yet so tragic. Even in the midst of two totally seperate lives, Furlong & Roth are totally believable as brothers.
