In this case, however, that doesn't happen, and that's totally down to the relationship between Anton Yelchin as the eventual victim and Justin Timberlake (yes, I know he's a pretty boy singer but the guy can and does act extremely well in this movie). It's heartbreaking to watch the story unfold and you really feel for this poor, trusting kid who honestly believes that his kidnappers are cool guys and that they'll be taking him home after a few beers and spliffs. Ben Foster also puts in an amazing show, but the entire cast is excellent and they're what keeps the film believable. br / br /It is an excellent movie and well worth a watch but as per the drug culture it depicts every other word out of their mouths is an expletive so if you're not into swearing, then this is probably one to avoid. I urge you not to though, because there's a very real story under here. Fascinating August 24, 2007 Antyllus (London, UK) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful Based on a true story (Jesse James Hollywood), this film brings out some very fine acting from Timberlake, Stone, and a host of first class actors. br / br /This is edge of the seat stuff when you can see the terrible consequences unfold - you want to warn the characters to make different choices. But it doesn't happen, up to the tragic end. The film boasts some excellent music and the editing leaves you always in anticipation of the next turn of the story. br / br /The real JJ Hollywood was one of the youngest ever on the FBI most wanted list. It is somewhat sad to see young lives wasted by a mindless pride and over petty squabbles, but that is an aspect of the generation we have raised. br / br /Well worth watching. br / br / br /See also: Echo Park, L.A. (Quinceanera) (2006) What an amazing film August 23, 2007 Ms. S. L. Denning (London, England) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful I never got a chance to see this in the cinema so went out and got it as soon as it hit the shops. Well worth the money. It had me gripped from start to finish. Based on true events, the story was good, acting good ( yes JT too ) and the ending was very moving. I couldnt get it out of my head even days after seeing it. Go buy this movie worth a watch September 1, 2007 S. coates (wales) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful I bought this film on a spur of the moment decision and not really knowing too much about the plot, but it was well worth it. br / br /The pace of the film constantly changes throughout changing from subtle and calming moments to intrigue and edge of your seat moments. All actors portrayed their characters brilliantly and justin timberlake did really well in fulfilling the criteria of the role. br / br /its well worth watching!! enjoy! Very good! September 21, 2007 Ms. A. E. M. Taylor 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Just finished watchin this film and it was awesome. As people have said before, it went from party time to edge of your seat "i cant believe it happened" sort of thing. br / br /JT is good - very realistic and all the other cast our outstanding. br / br /Not knowing it was based on true events, it becomes obvious during it it is. Very very impressed. Showing reviews 1-5 of 17 1 2 3 4 Next »
