Superb Movie !
This is a superb film, one ive watched many times. Whilst I personally wouldnt rank it along side the likes of shawshank I would rate it amongst some of the best work to come out of the big studios. It's very clever and strangly funny ! if you have seen it you will know what I mean, id say it's probably my favorite Kevin Spacey film and boy does his character ride a massive emotional roller coaster through out the story. If all this happend within every average family the western worlds society would be in melt down. This is a MUST SEE movie, it's BRILLIANT.
