Saw this one this afternoon. I give it a definite " ".

Superb acting by both Bridges and Spacey. Kevin has a wonderful range of emotions in this film and is able to dig deep into his acting skills.

It's fun to see Bridges in a role on the opposite side of his "Starman" one. He, also, is given some room to emote. Fantastic job.

Has a good balance of humor and drama. There are scenes that you just laugh out loud. But, similarly, there are other scenes where you just feel so much pain for the characters involved. Of special note are the hypnosis scenes.

Some trivia I learned about this movie: Jeff Bridges loves photography. He does a keepsake book for every movie he is involved in - takes pictures of many of the scenes and behind the scenes and then gives it in book form to all his fellow actors.

I don't want to give too much of the story away for anyone that is planning to see the movie. But, I did want to tell you my reaction to the film.

By the way, you need to stay until after the credits roll for an added ending. I didn't know to do this until afterwards, so I missed it. It's not crucial, but it sounds as if it was a good follow up to the end of the movie.

I actually went to the movies for once and saw it Sunday and it was definately five stars! It was a very good twist ending where it could be 2 things but I think I know the right one. I don't want to spoil the movie! I didn't know there was an additional ending after the credits. Maybe one day I'll see it.
