I was told by many people to check this movie out, with them knowing that Brick is one of my all time favorite films, they said to check this out. Mostly they were right, this movie was a crime movie, it had Joseph Gordon-Levitt and great dialog and a good story but i think it really fell flat in some areas.
Mainly it was my expectations, i do not think that Levitt will ever be able to top his performance in Brick, and he did create a really well rounded character in this film but something felt off about his performance. Jeff Daniels on the other hand played an amazing blind man, i think that he really stole this film. The script was phenomenal i thought and so was how the movie was shot. The story in which i originally thought was not that great, turned out to be real good. It was the story of a big shot hockey player who gets in an accident and kills two of his friends and paralyzes himself in the process. The only thing though is that he paralyzed himself mentally and there are basic motor functions that he cannot do. Sounds kinda boring, but it was not at all.
Minus the, in what i thought lackluster performance by Levitt in this film. I dug it, probably would not watch it again like Brick, so thats why the score is a little lower.
7/10
