Title: IS IT JUST ME - OR IS ETHAN HAWKE THE SLIMIEST LOOKING ACTOR IN THE WORLD????????
Product review: I had the misfortune to purchase this movie at Blockbuster this weekend out of the bin 3 for $20 . . . While I love Sidney Lumet - when people describe this as a dark film - that is a complete understatement! Even Albert Finney (the true victim in this film) is totally unlikeable. As for the two brothers - I have long wondered what ANYONE could ever see in Ethan Hawke - he is so hideous to look at! I would rather look at Phillip Seymour Hoffman naked anyday- and believe me that is not a sight I ever want to see again, either. The acting and directing was first rate but all of the characters were so utterly devoid of any shred of decency - it was sooooooo dark and when it was over I just sat there wondering why I watched the whole thing. Don't bother - but if you have to rent it DON'T be stupid enough to buy it at ANY price!
