Negative Positive
Title: One for the ages
Review: I believe that,like good friends, we can count the truly great movies on the fingers of our hands. This picture is in my top 5 of all time. The performances alone, of all the cast, not just Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, are superb. For me,it is the voice over of Ms. Lohan that elevates the different moods and tones over the course of the story. Far from turning this into another fiasco, we are left to wonder at the endurance of the human spirit and grieve at its frailty. There is no glorification of the physical violence, no homage to the "tough shell" routine, offered - rather a slow subtle appreciation for the ability to survive and to adapt to a hostile environment. Lindsay Lohan's closing soliloquy of "All you can do in life is try and solve the problem in front of you" is not the atypical Hollywood triumphant ending but, a considered dose of reality. At this point, I can only cross my fingers and pray that there won't be a sequel!
