First off, you will talk like Billy Bob after watching but honestly, I could see people giving it a top score. Definitely solid.
This movie will make you feel Many MANY emotions!!, One of the Most absolutely powerful movies I’ve EVER seen!
A dark but powerful film about murder, its ethics, and its consequences.
Thornton’s masterpiece, both as an actor & director. This will hit you in all the feels. You will laugh and you will cry.
Great movie by Billy Bob where he carries this film and makes you feel for his character. Great performances by all John Ritter is great too
You can’t convince me this isn’t a 10/10. I don’t know how Billy-Bob pulled this off or where his chops suddenly came from - but good god.
This movie gets a bad rap by some but it’s honestly one of Thortons best.. emotional and heartbreaking, but beautifully produced and acted
It was a good movie. Definitely a cult classic. Billy Bob Thornton’s performance was fabulous.
It’s straight-forward and simple and just gives you the essence of the human drama, not so much filler stuff. But not really unique.
What an underrated gem of wholesome, forgiveness, humble paired with phenomenal acting.From a golden age of movies and refreshing.
