Wow indeed. I've seen very few films in my life that contain such amazing character and story development, with astounding acting skills, led by Watts, Penn and Del Toro. The nonlinear approach to story-telling works well here, as slowly but surely are we sucked into a powerful and gripping plot that mesmerizes and holds our attention from beginning to end. The raw and grisly cinematography complements the story lines. I have a feeling that film students will be writing about this production for years to come. It's a gem.
