Based on a novel I never read, this movie is about a father (played by Joaquin Phoenix) who lost his son in a freak hit-and-run accident. Obsessed with finding the killer, he seems to alienate his family and lose control of reality. As time goes on he seems to remember more of the dark dreaded night, such as the SUV which hit and killed his child.
While searching for the killer, he hired a lawyer to take control over the case and communicate with the Police. This lawyer however happened to be the driver of the SUV who hit the poor boy.
The many coincidences which occurs throughout the movie is unbelievable and ridiculous, but it doesn't necessarily ruin the overall message and thrilling story. The cast and acting were amazing and I was thoroughly entertained.
I am rating this movie based on how entertained I was, and how I am sure I will remember this movie in two years from now. There were many dialog scenes and sequences in the film which was very cliché, stupid and unbelievable, but it doesn't stop the fact that this movie was entertaining and thrilling.
7/10
