valuable.
It's a tough film to watch, but every time I do I appreciate the tortured character Benicio depicts so well. Naomi ain't bad, either.
The pity is it couldn't satisfy itself with depicting these tortured, interweaving lives without the hokey murder angle: Hollywood just has to have the ultra-violence, doesn't it?
Still, the great strengths of the film far outweigh the trite plot contrivances.
