8/10
A Hollywood jewel
28 April 2002
Behind (or maybe in place of) what the trailer advertises - an

exciting thriller about an escalation of violence triggered by a minor

car accident involving two high-strung men - is a far-reaching

portrait of two men, or maybe just of men, in their daily choices

and shifts between good and evil. The impeccable acting outlines

a subtle, well-balanced script which touches (ever so slightly) on a

variety of subjects involving fate and guilt, revenge and

acceptance, miscommunication and mischief, loyalty and

honesty... all neatly wrapped up in an otherwise unobtrusive,

apparently formulaic story of "men getting even".

Go see it with an open mind and you're in for a really good

surprise.
