All over the map - yes I can see why. It took me a while to get into the movie if I'm being honest...But for what it's worth it was better than Mystic River and so was Penn's performance.It's very herky jerky in its stroy telling process as if they chopped the film into little bits and put it all together in any old order. Frankly it could have been told in a few flashbacks or alternate time lines alla Pulp Fiction. If you can sit through this style and stick with it it's a rewarding movie - largely an actor's movie.
It's an ineresting story of the way fate works and our need to know our place in life...subtle not preachy...but the style gets in the way a bit, rather than helping.
