It's ok. For a guy that's been making movies for 50 years, it seemed a little student-film-ish to me. The achronological narrative didn't really add much to the story, and it was slightly predictable. It just seems to adhere to a lot of conventions of the genre. Performances are good though, except Marisa Tomei.

Superbly acted all around, this dramatic story of family events gone horribly wrong feels very eerily realistic.

A very well constructed movie, the showing of multiple people's perspectives really works, and makes the story more compelling. Phillip Seymour is great as always, Ethan Hawke was better then he usually is. Even though a small role, I thought for the scenes he was in, Michael Shannon stole the show. The way the story unravels, characters becoming more and more fucked, really unlucky circumstances, a few dead people and a couple different revenge scenarios. It makes for a good movie.

Good idea, poorly executed. Bad direction, some bad acting (Marisa Tomei, obviously), and really bizarre plot devices that made an otherwise simple, well done movie needlessly complex.

The fractured storyline kept things interesting and pretty good acting all around.

Worth seeing for Hoffman's performance, but the writing is amateurish at best.

A never-ending downhill struggle that never left my knuckles any other color than white. Hoffman and Hawke make an absolutely mind blowing combination with some of their best performances to date. A must see.

Bleaksville. Only seen this and Dog Day Afernoon from the director... this film was a bummer.

not much happy about this film or people.

I can't believe that more people are not talking about this movie. This movie is great. A top notch cast and a great story. Philip Seymour Hoffman gives another gem of a performance. Sidney Lumet still is a great director.

A great cast and good acting, but the movie itself is not outstanding. Drags at many parts and the story is not the most original.
