I think the guy who wrote the featured review on the main IMDB page that reads "amateur night on a big budget" or whatever is a bit of an arse, what do you think?

The best performance of NIcholson's career. The movie is an emotional powerhouse.

I just saw the movie and I thought it started out very good and had alot going for it, but I have to say that the last 1\3 of the movie is a drawback for me.
I wished that the movie explored the relationship between Morse and Wright (Penn) more then it did.
Another thing is the score, the "forcing emotions down your throat" scenes in a musical sence is something that I have never liked, and I especially refer to the last scene.
I`d give this movie a solid 6\10 though which by no means makes it a bad movie but it is not "The indian runner" which I by Penn would hold as a FAR better movie.

Superb performances all around, a very compelling script, and a tremendously bleak atmosphere that fit the mood of the character perfectly. David Morse is outstanding here, and Jack Nicholson is very good, but his delivery here was a bit too familiar. Excellent supporting performances by Anjelica Huston and Robin Wright plus musicians Robbie Robertson and David Baerwald. 8/10 stars.

It's been months since I've seen this, but that ending is really sticking with me. Excellent film overall. Wish Jack would make more like this instead of the paycheck films.

This movie pulverized me. It's one of the most emotionally powerful moves ever made, period. Yes, it's clunky and predictable. Some scenes, like when Freddie goes to see his ex-wife, storms outthen storms back inseemed very real but almost jarringly non-cinematic. But Jack and, especially, the always-underrated David Morse really pull it off.
Two flawed and very believable people. The scene where Freddie gets pulled over for drunk drivingjust amazing.
This is a rare 10/10 for me.

I watched this movie when it came out and remember I liked it but forgotten so much. Then it pops up on tv this evening and seeing this after so many years was a real treat to the eyes and mind, This is a strong movie with some breathtaking acting done my Nicholson and Morse. Movies these days are mostly crap so it was nice to watch something of substance.
