initially i be put off rent this movie due to the jacket art for the dvd . in fact and this hold true with friend of mine who do not rent it due to the art and the mental image ( s ) it conjure of be a movie that hold little or no interest to me ( or to my friend ) . but and i rent and watch it and be truly amazed . i agree with another user comment that this movie be not for everyone due to the blatant sexual inference and so it be definitely not something i would want young child to watch ( and doubt seriously if they would understand it anyway ) . i enjoy movie like this whereby the character personality and who they be be genuinely define in a no nonsense and direct way with no teaser to indicate they will turn out bad . the act do . be it act . ricci and jackson perform so well and i be draw into this movie not even realize they be act . same thing with the story . may seem far fetch somewhat and but it be do so very and very well . it remind me of another movie with mel gibson and tim and where each character have limitation and whether mental or circumstantial and so be well define . i find much depth in this movie with the character involve and so feel that everyone involve ( from the cameraman to the actor ) should be commend on a perfect fit or result . after view this movie and i have talk to a couple of friend who have a negative approach to watch it like i do and so after hear my comment and they rent and watch it . they and too and be quite surprise at how good it be . it be too bad that the art on the jacket be do the way it be since it be a turn off . i can see now how the art applies and but i would not hear of this movie before and and the art be my first impression . art sell or destroy dvd sale or rental . these character have more depth to them and good timing be allot to give an audience like me time to absorb the feel for each . i felt i could trust the movie to flow well and and it do . so and with the jacket art aside and i would recommend watch this movie .
