I will start off by saying there are problems with this movie. The relationships the characters create and build, how fleshed out the characters are, and the pacing, all need some work. But my GOD, does Phoenix give an outstanding performance! If you like him, rent it just for him. I will not give this movie away, but just to mention that Phoenix's expressions, his words, his emotions, are etched into my mind forever. Up there with the best screen performances of all time: F. Murray Abraham in "Amadeus", Jimmy Stewart in "Wonderful Life", Anthony Hopkins in "Lambs", Meryl Streep in "Sophie's Choice". Not kidding, he's that good.

I have watched this movie over and over, i never get sick of it. It is a very serious film that opens your eyes to the affect media has on certain situations. All roles are played perfectly. I definately advise anyone and everyone to buy this film, it is fantastic, even the 100th time you watch it.

Vince Vaughn, Anne Heche, Joaquin Phoenix, David Conrad, Vera Farmiga

Great storyline, great characters and a tragic ending!

If this one got by you, track it down, it's worth it!

Return to Paradise
Added 2/14/2008

Being a now middle aged child of the sixties with friends that these three mimicked I found the movie compelling and actually overwhelming with the intense need to know at the end of the film if the promise to Sheriff ( Vince Vaughn) in fact came true or if he suffered the same fate as his friend for coming forward to " the powers that be" and owning up to his involvement so that he could be a "good and righteous person". Once again a story showing how the "legal powers that be" do not take into consideration the humanity especially when it comes to these drug crimes. I wanted to know if this is a take off of a true story and wanted to have the happy ending when all was resolved. I probably will not sleep tonite. Vince Vaughn's character was intense.
