It stars Jeff Bridges as a suburban man named Michael Faraday, who comes to know his neighbor, Oliver Lang, played by Tim Robbins, after finding Lang's son injured in a fireworks accident.
As they get to talking, Faraday finds out that there is more to Oliver then meets the eye. For one thing, Lang didn't graduate from the college thatr he said he did. As Faraday begins to investigate, he discovers a past that leads him to suspect that his friendly neighbor, with a wife, three kids, and a suburban life as nice as his own, is actualy a terrorist, bent on destroying the FBI Building in Washington DC.
This was, I thought, A pretty good movie. Nice solid plot, good actors, and little material that would be questionable. Jeff Bridges gives a good performance as a guy desperate to save those close to him, and Tim Robbins is a very good villian.
I'm going to refrain from typing up the entire plot, as there are many people who haven't seen it yet (it just opened yesterday, the 9th, so I'll just say this.
Good plot, good characters, decent length, keeps your attention. 4 1/2 field mice.
As far as the morality rating part of it goes, there was
No sex (a nice change from Summer of Sam)
2 or 3 uses of F--K
1 use of S--T
1 use of Son of a B---h
I give it a morality rating of 3 Field Mice.
Over all, this is a movie I would say you all should see.
