Now wasn't the scene in the beginning supposed to be in the future??? And everything else a flashback? So Lumet cheated us?
Shows us a false future and then th plot gos completely differently. Hawke overacts, Seymour Hoffman eats him alive. Tomei STILL Looks beautiful at 40+. She looks as good as she did in My Cousin Vinny. But now she has to take her top off to get the part. If it weren't for that ending that turns out to not happen, it would have been a good movie.
