This film is perhaps the greatest example of dialogue in a film that has been released in recent years. Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L Jackson, show what great actors they are in this 90 minute conversation between the two.
It's much harder then it looks to keep an audience intrigued for that long with just two men talking in a single room for the whole time. The film is based off the Cormac McCarthy play and with the exception of perhaps David Mamet, no one has ever written better dialogue then McCarthy.
This film focuses on the problems with Black and White versions of both cultural worldly living and spiritual living. I don't think there was a single time during this film where I felt bored by what was happening.
It raises perhaps some of the best questions regarding living in this world. The movie is smart enough to not take either side and give both men great arguments to support their side.
In the times of films that focus on nothing more then grand explosions and car chases, its a nice change of pace to see this sort of film that's actually about something.
I will admit that I actually teared up during this movie that's how good the dialogue really was. I really didn't want this movie to end and wished it would have lasted at least another hour. This is the kind of film that should be shown in Philosophy classes.
