Synopsis

Robert De Niro and Edward Norton deliver powerful performances as a seasoned corrections official and a scheming inmate whose lives become dangerously intertwined. Stone weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin. The film also stars Milla Jovovich and Frances Conroy. –tiff.net

I often got confused with this kind of comment, but, I just watched this again and what can I say is, this is a movie that deserves a second chance to be watched.

Interesting ideas here, detachment, spiritual awakenings ironically after a committing a crime. The movie doesn't quite work for me though. The visual motifs, the symbolism, all hammered in so aggressively you can't help but roll your eyes. For a film with abstract ideas, the director was oddly loud about everything, like he was afraid that no one would understand. Disappointing to me because I dig Curran.

Generally entertaining and enjoyable to watch, if one doesn't take the film's overly drawn out religious/philosophical undertone too seriously. Milla Jovovich is amazing.
