I'm not sure what to think, I never thought a movie with just four characters in a small apartment would keep me engaged until the stupid ending. Jodie Foster has gotten really good at yelling until the veins in her forehead bulge out.
When I saw the trailer for Carnage my immediate thought was of this film, which I agree was great. Cormac McCarthy knows how to flesh out the concepts of misery and hopelessness like no one else; Tommy Lee Jones' ending monologue resonated to my core. Highly recommended, it's probably best to be viewed alone to optimize and make relevant the inner conflict between optimist and pessimist.
I can't believe just how intense this movie really was. I already knew what the premise was going in and just assumed it was going to be another "Rocky" movie with a twist...but man was this movie really good. I wonder if this is how the people that saw Rocky when it was brand new felt while watching it.
