A Clinical Study in Abnormal, Violent, Destructive Behavior in a Man who is Loved by His Brother and Girlfriend.
He's Given a Chance to Reform from His Anti-Social, Psychopathic, and Sociopathic Ways by His Family and Friends.
There is Perhaps a Pure-Evil, Dark Personality that is Frank (Viggo Mortenson) who Resides Among Us.
That, for some Psychological Malfunction or Free Willing to Demonstrate Destruction on Everybody and Everything.
It Seems He Cannot or Will Not Live Among the Species Without Committing Hurtful Crimes Without Remorse.
Just Because He Can.
David Morse is the Brotherly Love, Patricia Arquette the Girlfriend who Takes it On the Chin, even when Birthing His Child.
All the Cast give Riveting, Believable, Difficult Performances and Director Sean Penn, who Also Scripted from an Inspiration from a Bruce Springsteen Song.
The Images are Fittingly Bleak but Beautiful and the Film is an Accomplished Movie,
and given its Predetermination of Cassavetes Like Realism, Couldn't be Better.
The Main Problem is Watching this Real Tragedy of the Dark Side of the Human Condition for 2 Hours doesn't Accomplish all that Much.
It's Like Watching the Concentration Camp Atrocities.
Sure, They are Real, it Does Happen, but being Forced to Absorb the Inequities and Depressing Images for an Extended Period, Without a Certain Amount of Answers,
or Ideas on Approaching the Problem, in the End, is Sadistic Cinema and Pointless.
Worth a Watch if You Can Take It.
