come across this movie late one night and it captivate me completely . act across the board be superb . dakota fan delivers a wonderfully control performance and show what a raw talent she be . the movie tackle the issue head on and never come across a if it be be overly dramatic for the sake of it . in some scene it be really heart rendering and i be fight back the tear frequently . many people knock sean penn because of his personal life ( myself include ) but his performance of the mentally challenged man be inspire and never come across a corny . how denzel washington beat him to the best actor oscar for train day ill never know . a truly wonderful movie that i have make all of my friend sit down and watch with me .
