Pure Brilliance! I guess a lot of it shocked me not knowing the story going in and maybe thats why I was so upset by the end. What I don't get is how this movie didn't get any nominations for any major film awards. Its by far better than the departed in my opinion and despite the endings in both films, I liked this one better. You look at the acting and all the raw emotion that went into this film, I don't get it. Sure the fact that the "f word" was said over 300 times bothered me, but it's expected.
I wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about the film, about Justin Timberlake considering I'm not a fan. But I was blown away at how well he played his character and everything that went into it.
I don't really wanna give to much away about the movie, but its gotta be told. Its based on Jesse James Hollywood one of the FBI's most wanted. In a world of drugs and money, money that doesn't get paid and guys kid brother gets taken, and from there it's down hill.
If you're into real life based movies, despite an ending, or you don't mind nudity and a ton of swearing go see it.
I give it 4.5 IceCream Scoops out of 5
Rated R for pervasive drug use and language, strong violence, sexuality and nudity.

I liked how it was filmed, how they had interviews with the characters through out. I also liked how they did the telephone call stuff. I think telephone scenes can be tricky, you don't want it to be cheesy.
It also did one award, the bad blond bald guy Ben Foster won a young Hollywood actor breakthrough performance award.
