Ratings and reviews

A solid film with some great acting. The ending however, is somewhat abrupt and you feel the story hasn't reached its conclusion, almost like you're waiting for a sequel that you know will never come.

Watched this a while ago and what a emotional film. Jamie fox and Robert Downey Jr are too cool for school. Great actors, a great script, a must watch. NUFF SAID!!!

I'll say rent only because there's no way you'll ever need to watch this twice. Everything about it will stick with you so well.
