This DVD is highly contradictory: it has Benicio del Toro's probably finest screen performance to date,solid ones from Duchovny and John Lynch, and tolerable histrionics from Halle Berry. But it is basically a made-for-tv movie (specifically, a made-for-Lifetime-Television-for-Women movie). Disappointing, because the Danish director has given us a couple of good films. It's well directed but the script is mushy and weak, with a premise that lacks credibility. Production values and DVD transfer of excellent quality. "Special features" are just the typical behind-the-scenes self-congratulatory pap. Deleted scenes don't have director's commentary. Exclusively for Benicio or Halle Berry fans.
Benicio Del Torro's best performance EVER! Halle Berry was exceptionally good, as well. This is a very touching and emotional movie. I recommend it to all who have struggled with an addict. Get your box of Kleenex for this one! You won't forget it for days.

The Moral is DRUGS ARE BAD! Film starts out with a loving family a Father mother and two Children a little Girl and a little Boy..The Father is the typical hard working fun loving best Friend type..he shows his worth as a best friend to his drug addicted buddy played by Del Toro..while his beautiful Wife stays home and watches over the kids and the house..they have a fight because the wife played by Berry believes her Hubbys buddy has stolen $60 from them, (she finds out later that is not the case)..of course the Hubby does not believe that..after promising his kids ice cream Daddy leaves the house to perform the simple chore of bringing a treat home to his kids..however when he spies a helpless woman being horribly beaten by her so called husband he steps in and orders the man to stop and count to ten while the furious hubby does so Duchuvney(sp?) goes to the womans aid by calling 911..while his back is turned the hubby draws a gun standing the good hubby shields the woman from the gun fire..by the time the police have arrived the less then a man hubby is laying dead so is the woman and so is her protector..Berry does a great job showing the pain and anguish a woman goes through upon losing the love of her life..this film is filled with a mixture of emotions.., love, happiness, anger heart wrenching pain, hurt and finally acceptance..,not since the tragic murder if Tejano Queen Selena Quintanilla Perez and the release of her biopic "Selena" are we dragged through the ringer in such a moving way..I give this movie 5 out of 5 bars.. This is yet another reason why guns should not be entrusted into the hands of anyone unless a full background check is done, not just a criminal background, but also medical.. and everyone should be made to see a shrink before allowing such a purchase..also strict laws should be in place to deal with those who sell illegal handguns..no second or third offense bs..1st offense and you are gone for a long time!Read full review
