Jon Foster, Peter Skarsgaard, and Sienna Miller love each other. This is a Jules et Jim type film where three people love each other.
Nick Nolte is the gangster dad of Jon Foster. Nolte's brother who is also a gangster uses Skarsgaard for low level jobs. Skarsgaard and Foster have sex. Then Skarsgaard needs Foster's dad to get him out of trouble. His dad gives him a robbery to do but calls the cops to get him out of his son's life.
I like Skarsgaard's acting the best. He reminds me of Brando. He seems to be holding back some powerful energy. Sienna Miller is interesting; she was married to Jude Law twice. I think Law fooled around with the sitter like Uma Thurman's husband. Here Miller is a cellist who gets drunk.
This is a story of an unforgettable summer in Pittsburgh. I bet the book by Michael Chabon is excellent.
