Movie is very well done, acting is great and I think it is a "quality" movie, worthwhile to be seen! Some of the situations during the movie were unclear, though and I felt somewhat disapointed with the ending..

Excellent movie, grim at times and leaves you with a feeling of being emotionally drained. I cried,deep heart felt sobs at some of Sean Penn`s surely oscar winning performance.

Congatulations. A trully wonderfull film. Every element within the film surved its function and purpose, a trully unified piece of work. Sean Penn`s performance was exillarating. We trully feel the horror and pain of death, how friendship can be altered by time and tragedy. This psychological thriller makes the viewer activly participate in the story. A great piece of work.

I thought it was very good.

Although you can see that the story is inexorably leading to the conclusion, you can`t help but feel for characters as they always just miss things.

I think this movie should be nominated for several Oscars!! This was the best movie I have seen all year!

This was a good movie. At the end, I had a creepy feeling, while taking a look and analyzing the characters, after what had happen. Very real feeling. Half way through I figured out who it was, but still found it very interesting unfolding.

i saw this movie today and didnt really know what i was getting into. i was very intrigued from the beginning and it turned into a fantastic movie. for me though, the ending was one of the worst i have seen in a movie. hate to say it but it ruined the entire picture for me. the first 2 hours was 5+ stars, one of the best movies ive seen for a long time.....the last 5 minutes on the other hand was some of the worst movie making i have seen in a long time. go watch it but leave at the beginning of the parade scene!! that way you can make your own ending!

for a change, a movie that made you think beyond the plot lines. one wakes up at night and remembers another obscure detail that adds one more twist, one more connection. performences were riveting and realistic. yup, it was manipultive, but how can a movie not be? directors always want to plant a message, but what is interesting about this movie is that the message changes as you discover more nuances and parallels.
