Starring: Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Skerrit, James Woods
Running Time: 2h 29min
Foster is once again the focal point of two hours of thought provoking filmmaking. She's in almost every scene and her talent does not bore. We want more. All the circumstances seem realistic, enough so that a vivid discussion can follow the movie. However, at times I thought I was watching Forrest Gump all over again. The music swelling at the right moments, the grand shot placed at the right time for the perfect amount of time. The filmmaking is so precision that it lacks vision. Except the "journey" sequence, which gave a whole lot more than I expected, yet still leaving plenty to the imagination. Another problem is the intensity of the two stars' relationship, stemming from a one night stand! This movie gets better as time passes though.
Grade: B
