This is one of my favourite films of all time, as we watch the relationship between two completely different brothers evolve from a curiosity into a loving friendship.
My personal opinion is that no-one has ever acted as well on screen as Dustin Hoffman does in this film. His portrayal of Raymond is ingenious, emotional, humourous,touching and above all believeable. He is mesmerising on screen as Raymond.
I also believe this is Tom Cruise's finest performance. I am a big fan of Tom Cruise because he makes films I wish I was in ( Top Gun, Mission Impossible etc), but many people see him more as a "movie star" rather than an actor. However in this film the transformation his character goes through during the course of the film is very well handled and executed. There is definately a "lump in the throat moment at the end" to get even the hardest heart melting
A great film with great performances a must for anyone who has not seen this yet.
