About this movie

Academy-Award®-winner Robert De Niro and Academy-Award®-nominee Edward Norton deliver powerful performances as a seasoned corrections official and a scheming inmate whose lives become dangerously intertwined in this thought-provoking drama. As parole officer Jack Mabry (De Niro) counts the days toward a quiet retirement, he is asked to review the case of Gerald "Stone" Creeson (Norton), in prison for arson. Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man's decision with his wife Lucetta (Milla Jovovich of THE RESIDENT EVIL series) have profound and unexpected effects on them both. This tale of passion, betrayal and corruption skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin.

Ratings and reviews

Three great actors (De Niro, Norton and Jovovich) one bad movie. Very predictable plot, story takes no turns and makes no attempt to entice the viewer. No sense of despair or warmth in any character, waste of time. Two stars only because the movie did have potential to be a good drama but fell short in it's attempt.

If you understand prison life and struggling marriage you may find the movie a simple tale of them both. What's amazing is someone being able to bring it to the big screen and introduce the stone character as a prison mastermind that finds his way in the labirynth of life while everyone else is still looking. Can't wait to hear the commentary

I've not seen this yet but reading the reviews ppl are judging the high profile actors and actress and not whoever wrote for this film it looks interesting but some ppl might not get a understanding or the whole plot/concept of this movie it might not be for everybody but im gonna buy this regardless on what anybody says about it
