Wow! What a great legal/psychological thriller! It's not so much a thriller, really, as it is a mystery. Think murder mystery novel put into movie form.
Sir Anthony Hopkins is fantastic, as always. His character has an incredibly dry wit and is very smart, which makes the movie fun. Ryan Gosling plays opposite him as the ADA trying to prosecute him for shooting his wife.
It's a really great story, with lots of unpredictable twists and turns. Usually Ricky and I figure those kinds of movies out early on, but this time we only got it when Ryan Gosling did. There's also some incredible camerawork in the movie.
Anyway, we highly recommend it. It's a thinking movie though, so don't rent it if you're just looking for a mindless laugh.
