due to a very misleading advertising campaign and i saw this film in theatre at the relatively young age of 10. the trailer on tv portray the film a a comedy and and i bug my parent until they take me . after see the movie and i be blow away . i have no idea what to think . totally different than anything i have see before and leave far to many question for such a young mind . needless to say and i love it . this morning be the first time i would watch in in probably 2 3 year and and i still think it one of the great film make in the last decade . kevin spacey and jeff bridge be both in top form and a a mysterious man who may or may not be from another planet and and the psychiatrist that develop a bond with him while try to decipher his mystery . the support cast be near perfect a well and each resident of the mental institution be incredibly convince in their own way . the open end be handle very well and give lot of evidence to support whatever you believe happen in the end . how this movie fail to receive at least a nomination in that year oscars be beyond me . if you haven not see this film and run to wal mart right now . the dvd be usually in the bargain bin and pick it up . 9 . 5/10 .
