Those who respect psychological dramas with a colloquial component – there is a field for work. The characters, their motivation, are very well written due to the clearly written script, on which Pamela Gray worked for 8 years.
Initially, Naomi Watts planned to play Betty Waters, but how cool it is that Hilary Swank was approved for the role – she plays on the nerve and with the edges of a professional.
But I would point out that Sam Rockwell is even more twisted, he's like a real Master, the same shade of play as Denzel Washington in Hurricane or Anthony Hopkins in Father.
As Sergey Bodrov Jr. said: There is a law of conservation of energies: nothing disappears without a trace and nothing is taken from nowhere. But to understand how great losses and gains, it is possible only after a while.
Here is a good second line of actors who are selected as infused.
This is Minnie Driver, Juliette Lewis and Peter Gallagher.
The film should be noted from a visual point of view. The picture in the mosaic is wonderfully selected.
For everyone who loves court dramas, the movie will have a soul.
There's a worked-out plot and climax. Highest score.
I highly recommend it.👌
